About

Meet Alexa

Alexa was both an indoor and outdoor dog in her previous home. When she was left alone, she was primarily left outside. Alexa is an active and playful young dog who will thrive best with having a positive outlet for her energy. Any adopter should be prepared to provide her with that outlet! Alexa enjoys the great outdoors and is always happy to go on an adventure. We aren't sure if she has ever been camping but we anticipate it being one of her favorite things! Though Alexa is playful she doesn't always show much interest in toys. She prefers one on one playtime with her people and enjoys sticks! Overall, Alexa does have good manners. Her one ‘flaw’ was that she could be destructive towards household items. This may have been due to the lack of stimulation in her previous home though. Alexa is potty trained and crate trained. We recommend continuing crate training to help Alexa feel secure when left alone and to keep her honest! Alexa does well on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “come”, “no”. Alexa was described as being aggressively playful by her previous owners. Though she enjoys playing with other dogs and playing in general, she can be rambunctious at times and may not know how to read social cues from other animals. To her, everything is a game! Alexa will need additional socializing to help her better interact with other dogs and play respectfully. She would do best with a tolerable friend that matches her energy. We highly encourage a dog meet and greet prior to adopting. Alexa will most likely chase or play too rough with cats. To make ensure everyone stays happy and stress free, we do not recommend Alexa going into a home with small animals. Alexa has loved everyone she met and has lived with children. Again, due to her wiggly personality she may be too much energy for some small children. If you are an active person who also enjoys all things the great outdoors has to offer, Alexa may be the right dog for you!
