Lexie is a friendly border collie mix looking for a loving home! She is 2 years old and was brought into the shelter as a stray. Lexie is really good with people though, so it seems as though she must be used to having a family.

Lexie is house broken but her fluffy coat needs some grooming. She would make a great addition to any family or a wonderful companion to anyone.

You can find Lexie at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley in Marietta to give her a permanent home. Lexie was featured on WTAP News at Noon's Pet of the Week Segment on July 25th, 2008.
