Story
We adopted Alexa as a puppy and she was the first member of our family, so we want to make sure she finds the right fit. She is very loving and likes to snuggle up and be close to you. She loves to play and get attention, tug of war is her favorite game. She also loves people and any attention she can get so she wouldn't be a good guard dog. She is very high energy (and is very strong) and needs a privacy fence and lots of exercise. She can climb over regular chain link fences at normal height without other precautions, but we do have a wireless fencing system we will pass along if it seems like a fit other than the fence. She loves other dogs and the dog park is one of her favorite places to visit. She hasn't been around cats much, but when she was a puppy she wanted to chase them and play. She has never been aggressive to anything other than birds. We are rehoming for 2 reasons, 1 she is very big so her playing is too much for our young kids. 2, she needs more exercise.
