A4848408 Lexi is a cordial 7-year-old black-and-tan female Silky Terrier mix who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as a stray on June 26th. Weighing 8 lbs, Lexi is sweetness personified—sweetness with absolutely no teeth (which, of course, necessitates that she get only wet food). Lexi is well-mannered, kind, and, acts as if she graduated from finishing school with stellar grades! She gets along well with her kennel mates, walks okay on leash but much prefers being up in your arms, and is curious, kissy, and mellow. She does, sad to say, look as if she’s not been treated very well, as evidenced by the toothlessness and hair that’s not had anywhere near the bathing, grooming, and care she deserves. This tiny lady is pretty shutdown at the shelter, but her modest dignity and can-do attitude are getting her through. We think she needs to be adopted out of the shelter as soon as possible; and we think she’ll be perfect for an individual or family (whose children, if any, are old enough to respect her small size) who will take good care of Lexi, cherish her, and be blown away by her spirit and unassuming ways. She’s a gem.
