Near the orphanage in Trusesti there is a larger complex of houses. Behind it, as is often the case, is a small rubbish dump with several containers. All kinds of things are dumped and disposed of there. Unfortunately, this also includes unwanted pets or superfluous offspring.

A boy who lives in the orphanage passed by this rubbish dump and saw a little puppy sitting there. The puppy was sitting there with its head hanging down and not moving. The boy went to him, spoke to the little puppy, then took him in his arms and ran very quickly back to the orphanage. Once there, he showed the puppy to older children, who in turn informed the orphanage manager.

Lexy, as the little puppy girl would later be called, was in a very poor general condition. Dehydrated, thin, dull, dirty fur. Lexy's eyes were inflamed. The shelter manager informed Anca and asked for help for the little puppy girl.

Many months have passed since Lexy was rescued. The dog girl has recovered and grown into a female who is always in a good mood. Lexy is cheerful and always to be found where there is something going on or happening. She is curious and wants to get to know the world. Lexy gets along well with her dog friends. She likes to romp with them and tease with hers. No dog is safe from Lexy's demands to play. Because Lexy is very social with her fellow dogs, she lives freely in an outdoor enclosure with other dogs of both sexes. Lexy also loves water. She "digs" in water bowls, snaps at a stream of water, lies down in a tub full of water. Unfortunately, Lexy can't really live out her preference.

With us humans, Lexy is just as playful as she is with her fellow dogs. Tug-of-war games or carrying things around are part of it. Cuddling and being stroked is clearly one of Lexy's favourite activities, even before playing. It doesn't matter if it's a woman, a man or a child. Lexy enjoys being stroked, stretches herself or even pushes her hand so that she can be cuddled further. The lovely female has a short coat and appears to be rather strong with long legs.

However, Lexy has sensitive, delicate eyes. They are always inflamed or encrusted at the edges. If Lexy's eyes are cleaned every day, these symptoms disappear. Unfortunately, this is not possible for Anca to the extent that Lexy needs it. Especially in summer, when it is dusty due to dryness, Lexy's eyes suffer more than in winter.

We are looking for experienced people for Lexy who would like to encourage her love of digging water and who are not angry with Lexy if she digs in puddles. Lexy would also enjoy nice walks and adventures, as well as cuddling and resting. Lexy's new people should be aware that Lexy's eyes need special care and this will take time. We think it would be nice for Lexy to be the princess in her new home. Attending a dog school would be desirable.
