Senior Dog Sanctuary

The Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities in partnership with Senior Dog Sanctuary is proud to present the Dog of the Month, Lexi! Each month we will showcase an available senior dog for adoption. If interested please fill out an application at www.seniordogsanctuary.com.

Pascal Senior Activity Center will also be offering a FREE pet vaccination and microchip clinic this summer. The date is to be determined.

Lexi the Border Collie. Our Dog of the month from Senior Pet Sanctuary.

Meet Lexi!

8 yr old Lexi arrived at our Sanctuary from an overcrowded shelter. She is a sweet girl who is shy to warm up but loving once she feels comfortable. She is looking for a relaxed home with primarily adults and no small children. She also prefers a home where she is the one and only pet. Also, someone familiar with the Border Collie breed would be a plus. She is a simple girl who loves nothing more than taking a leisurely walk in the sun and she will quite literally stop and smell every rose! She is in good health and enjoys exploring. With the right environment and ongoing support, she will no doubt become a loyal and loving companion!

If you are interested in sweet Lexi, please fill out an application on our website www.seniordogsanctuary.com and set up a meet and greet today! For more information please email adoption@sdsanctuary.com
