Are you right for Miss Lexi?
Miss Lexi is a majestic five-year-old Lurcher looking for a loving home. She is currently in a foster home, and is doing brilliantly, a perfect work from home companion! Her foster carers describe her as “sweet and loving.” If built up gradually, Lexi is happy to be left alone for three to four hours, although she’d preferably be in your company! She loves being involved in daily life and welcomes and settles well with visitors. Lexi is housetrained and she travels well in the car. She does well in rural country locations. She is looking to be the only dog in the home and will need a home without cats or small furries. Care may be needed when passing by livestock.
Is Miss Lexi right for you?
Lexi is an affectionate girl who adores a fuss and a snuggle with her favourite people. At home she is a couch potato who loves a cosy nap on the sofa. Out and about she is playful and fun, she enjoys getting out and about for adventurous walks. Some of her favourite spots include out on Exmoor where she can take a dip in some water along the way. She’s been having a great time with her foster carers visiting new places and taking in the sights and smells of the countryside and a few quiet pub gardens. Lexi can pass by other dogs at a respectful distance, and she also has a few calm doggy pals that join her on a walk. She’s a champion of the zoomies in true Lurcher style! —so get ready for some joyful, silly sprints around the garden or a secure field. She enjoys playing with soft squeaky toys, a game of tug, sprinting around with a toy in her mouth, or curling up in her bed with a toy, she’s sure to make you smile! If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’ll fill your life with laughter and cuddles Lexi might just be the one for you.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
