Terrier and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Thousand Oaks, California

Lexus is a 10-week-old female terrier mix weighing 9 pounds.

She was found as a stray in Taft, wandering alone. A Good Samaritan picked her up and posted her online in hopes of finding an owner, but no one came forward to claim her. She is now safe with Shelter Hope and thriving in foster care!

Despite her uncertain start, Lexus is a well-socialized and well-adjusted little puppy.

Lexus is sweet, playful, and full of puppy energy. She enjoys people and gets along well with other dogs. She loves cuddle time just as much as playtime, especially when she can romp around and explore. Curious and spirited, she is always eager to check out her surroundings, bounce around with joy, and give plenty of kisses. With her affectionate personality and happy nature, Lexus is ready to bring love and fun to her next home.
