Lexi–noisy, snoopy, clumsy bloodhound Lexi–became a resident in May 2020, a just-before-the-pandemic-closures adoption that didn’t work out very well. Happily, the couple who adopted her contacted us, worried that returning her to the shelter during the pandemic closures would result in her being euthanized due to age (10 or so).
It took her months to relax, but the girl who emerged is an affectionate, rabbit-obsessed, thunder-terrified, sloppy-kissing, cold- and wind-hating dog who loves long naps on the couch and will follow any ray of sunshine around the house, determined to have heat on her bones after her walks.
She has no spatial awareness, which is an annoyance to most of the dogs since she bumps and lumbers through them, oblivious to their very presence, but she and they make it work!
