Meet Lexus an 18 month old 30 pound Aussie/Collie mix (mom), not sure who dad was.  Lexus is a sweet girl who is shy at first but warms up quickly with people and other dogs. 

Lexus is also good with kids of all ages.  She can be a little too interested in cats, but has not acted out towards them.  So she would need to be slowly introduced to them.

Lexus has spent most of her life living outside, so she is adjusting to home life and learning how amazing inside can be.  She is also learning her house manners, such as items on the counter belong to the humans and not her.  With a little positive reinforcement Lexus will be a great companion.

Lexus has recently graduated from the 12 week Puppies 4 Parole program through the Mo Department of Corrections.  She was a model student where she has learned basic commands and socialization skills.
