Meet Alexandra: A Sweet 10-Month-Old Dog Seeking a Forever Home

Introducing Alexandra

• 🐶 Alexandra is a 10-month-old, 11-pound dog seeking adoption.
• ✨ Her breed mix is approximately 60% Pekingese, 20% Yorkshire Terrier, and 20% Shih Tzu.
• 💖 She is described as very sweet and playful, though a little bossy.

Alexandra's Health and Needs

• 🚫 Alexandra does not get along with cats.
• 👁️ She is blind in her left eye due to an attack by her father when she was a puppy.
• 🩹 Thanks to veterinary care, her eye was saved and does not need to be removed, though it has a slight milky appearance.
• ⚠️ It is crucial that Alexandra does not encounter cats, as a swat to her eye could cause her to lose it.

Ongoing Care and Maintenance

• 💧 Alexandra's coat feels like soft human hair and requires regular brushing to prevent matting.
• 🛁 She needs to be bathed and brushed about once a week.

Update on Previous Adoption

• 🐾 Last week's featured dog, Hazel, a golden doodle, has been adopted by Elise, Daniel, and their four children.
• ✅ Hazel is now happily settled with her new family, enjoying training sessions, playtime, and daily walks.
