Lovely Lexi is Sweet, Smart, and Good with People and Other Dogs

Pet of the Week for February 21, 2026

If you walk into the FAAS office space, the first thing you’ll likely see is a curious little snout peeking over the barn door. That’s Lexi, our current supervisor!

At three years old, Lexi doesn’t just observe the day from her bed, she wants to be right in the middle of the rhythm. She is the kind of dog who thrives on connection, quickly attaching herself to her favorite humans and making sure she’s part of every “hustle and bustle” moment. Whether it’s a busy afternoon or a quiet morning, Lexi’s promise is simply to be where you are.

Lexi has proven to be an incredible mentor. She has taken every puppy that has come through our doors in stride, patiently showing them the ropes of how to be a balanced, happy dog.

She is house-trained, dog-friendly, and generally comfortable with everyone she meets. While she loves a good car ride, she’s still figuring out what to do with all that open space when going out on walks. She’s looking for a family who will help her realize that the big, wide world—and the backseat of a car—is a wonderful place just for her.

Meet sweet Lexi at Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter at 1590 Fortmann Way—give us a call 510-337-8565 for more information.
