ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Lexxi and Zuess are a BONDED pair. You must adopt both dogs together. All adopters must be a resident of FL. You must own your home. To qualify for adoption, all of the pets in your home must be spayed or neutered, they must be current on vaccines, preventatives, and have received consistent veterinary care.
Lexxi and Zuess are a bonded pair of sweethearts that recently came into Rescue. They had been neglected with regards to grooming, nutrition and veterinary care. Our director could see past the neglect and quickly agreed to take them in. The veterinarian that did their wellness check found extensive dental disease and hair loss with skin issues in both dogs and additionally Zuess had a fatty tumor on his chest the size of a walnut. They were not in the best condition as seen on the initial exam and needed more vet care asap. But first up was a spa day with scrubby medicated baths and nail trims. We scheduled them to go to the “dog”ter for the earliest appointments. Lexxi was in need of a major dental cleaning and had 4 teeth extracted. Zuess was in worse shape and had 11 teeth extracted and the fatty lumpy bump removed (no concern or issue with lumpy bump thank goodness). After a few days of R & R, love, cuddles and meals with soft food, they are both back to being happy pups, you would never know they’re seniors!
As is usual with a bonded pairs, one is a little more outgoing, that is Lexxi and the other is more of a follower, that would be Zuess. We believe them to be litter mates who are 11 years young and weighing in at 7 pounds each.
Lexxi is adventurous, she loves to be out in the fenced back yard, and sniffy / smelling everything, and her foster mom says she is usually sunning herself and loving it. When she is not outside she has hopped up on the couch and is curled up for an afternoon snooze. She is great on leash walks and is getting the hang of house manners, usually taking her business outside.
Zuess is usually close by and not far away from Lexxi. He doesn’t seem as interested in outdoors and the “sunning himself” part. He is working on house manners and is sporting a fashionable belly band when in the house and free to piddle anywhere and everywhere when outside. Zuess prefers doggy beds around his foster home for naps, and the human bed at night for a snuggle up to sleep. We found out this weekend Zuess is not fond of thunderstorms, he did get more comfortable when he had a snuggle/thundershirt on.
They are both easy going and would do well with another similar sized pup in the home or as the only 2 puppers in the home. They have not been kid or cat tested. We would recommend an adult only home as they are so small and prefer a quieter environment, and a home where their humans are home more often than not.
Lexxi is spayed, Zuess is neutered, they are up to date on vaccines, had fresh dentals, are microchipped and current on flea and heartworm prevention.
With your help, love and patience, let’s give these two a quiet, loving home to live their best life. They both have hair and will require regular brushing, bathing and scheduled grooming, please keep these expenses in mind if you are considering adopting these two sweeties.
