Lexi (FKA Princess) - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Lexi: 85 Pounds of Sunshine & Brindle Beauty!

Some dogs just have that something special, and Lexi is one of them.

Lexi is a gorgeous 2-year-old, 85-pound Catahoula/Great Pyrenees mix with a beautiful brindle coat, a gentle spirit, and a tail that rarely takes a day off.

She's wonderfully calm, affectionate, and fantastic with adults. She's also house trained, crate trained, and trustworthy with free roam of the house. This girl already knows how to be a great houseguest!

Lexi is dog friendly and enjoys canine companionship. Cats, however, are a little too fascinating, and she may give chase out of curiosity.

While Lexi loves her people, small children can be overstimulating for her. She'll do best in an adult home or one with older, respectful kiddos who understand canine boundaries.

And about that yard...

Lexi once enjoyed having plenty of room to stretch those long legs, and she'd love to have that again! While she's calm and well-mannered indoors, she still enjoys running, exploring, and getting some good old-fashioned exercise. A large, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to play would be ideal.

Lexi is fully vetted, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, ready for her next chapter.

What makes Lexi special is her wonderful balance of calm companionship and playful enthusiasm. She's equally happy relaxing with her people or enjoying some fresh air and room to roam.

Big dog. Gentle heart. Beautiful soul.

Lexi isn't asking for much. Just a family who appreciates her, a little space to run, and a forever home where she can settle in and be loved.

Give this sunshine girl room to stretch her legs and a place in your heart, and she'll make your world a brighter place.
