**Lexxi** Is a 16-pound, 1-year-old female Dacshund-Corgi mix found with hr sister, running with stray dogs dumped in an area of Fresno, California.  Lexxi is bonded to her sister, Libby, and we would love to see them adopted together. The adopter(s) will need to be very dog- and rescue-savvy, as both dogs are fearful of men. If there is a male in the home, he will need to be an equal partner in feeding and care in order to win their trust, as they will trust a woman first. From their foster:  Lexxi (black/tricolor ) is the quieter of the two and definitely appreciates her couch time. Now that she’s out of the noisy shelter environment, she’s really starting to blossom. With a gentle, steady home, she’ll continue to build her confidence. These two adore each other, bring zero drama, and are impressively quiet—they’d make absolutely terrible guard dogs, but perfect companions. The girls are up to date on vaccines and need to be spayed. Rompin Paws can work with the adopters to get them spayed at our vet, or they can take them to their vet. The current adoption fee does not include spaying costs. This may be updated if they are spayed prior to adoption. These pups are young and can be worked with to be lovely family members.  Their foster has begun working with them so that they have had harness and lead training, but will require more work. We do recommend a child-free home because of their anxiety and trauma from being dumped. They need a calm home with adults. If you have the time, love, experience, and willingness to help these two sweet girls work through their trauma so they can become loving and loved family members, we would love to chat with you. We are open to a foster-to-adopt period, so there is ample time allowed for the potential adopters to work with Libby and get to know her.
