. I'm Luxi. I am a sweet and beautiful 4 year old Catahoula cross. I’m all love and affection, I want to be close to you, and make sure I'm seen and paid attention too. I'm very inquisitive and need to know where everyone is and making sure they are safe at all times.
I enjoy chew toys, ball games, rope games, and playing with my foster family. Lately I've taken a love to playing with the water from the hose. I think I could be a water doggo! I'm very interested in car rides and am happy to go where ever you go. I also love the sound of my lead... I'll even help you fetch it.
I've been working hard on my manners, but my foster family think I need a little bit more work. I have started listening to them, and will come when called, and sit on command. I’m more of a grazer and often don’t eat straight away.
Settling into a new environment can be tricky, and I've had some big moves lately. Please be patient with me. I calm down a lot after a few days and start to settle quickly. I have some medication to help me stay calm and it helps me relax, there are so many noises and things I don't understand in this big wide world.
I do need to be in a house as the only dog or with a relaxed medium to large who is happy for me to be the centre of attention with people home a lot.
I will be the most beautiful girl if you treat me well, give me lots of love, and let me decompress when I need too. My foster family say they have a soft spot for me, and know I've had a hard life. They say they love me and can't wait for me to find my forever home.
Neither can I. Please give me a chance - I won't let you down!
Love, Luxi
Luxi is currently taking Gabapentin and Trazodone to help manage her anxiety and support her transition into her new home. The medication costs approximately $70 per month. Once Luxi has settled in and feels comfortable in her new environment, it is anticipated that she will be able to gradually discontinue these medications under guidance.
