We had to fight to Get Her 🫶✨✨🤍
This is Lexy and we had to fight the shelter to get her…
So basically we got her in the pandemic in 2020 and the shelters had no visitors which we totally understand and the only way to see one of the dogs it was by appointment.
So we called to get an appointment and they said that she already had a family interested on her so we could not get an appointment and we were like Ok but a few days pass and she was still available in the website.
We decided to called again and they mentioned that the family missed the appointment but they were gonna again and we let them know that we were interested on her but they said that the family had priority so we understand again.
More days passed by and she was still available at the website so we called again and they said they were waiting on an answer on the family so we said this: We have called a few times triying to get an appointment so we can see her cause we are interested on her and you guys keep postponing and mean while that dog is just sitting in the shelter when there’s someone that wants to adopt her.
After this and a few more words they finally gave us the appointment, we went to see her, following all the protocols and we adopted her.
Actually according to one of the workers from the shelter the family that finally saw her did not want her cause she has a little bump on her belly which for us was definitely not a problem and we are so happy to have her with us.

Adopting a pet can be a life-changing experience, filled with both joy and challenges. During the pandemic, many shelters faced unprecedented situations, which made the adoption process unique. For us, the process began in 2020 when we learned that shelters had restrictions in place due to safety protocols. Initially, we were eager to meet Lexy, but learned that another family was interested. After multiple calls and days passed without any movement, we expressed our determination. It was clear that Lexy, with her sweet personality and lovable nature, deserved a forever home, regardless of a small bump on her belly that worried others. Many prospective pet adopters may face similar hurdles when looking to adopt during busy times or constrained environments, and it’s essential to advocate for the pets who seem to be overlooked. Each pet has its story, and fostering that connection can lead to wonderful partnerships. If you find yourself in a situation where you face barriers in adopting a pet, don’t hesitate to communicate your interest—often persistence pays off. Shelters appreciate passionate prospective pet parents who see beyond the surface. By understanding the needs of these animals and expressing genuine love, we can change lives for the better.
