He keeps a tidy kennel, and has been a very good boy to keep potties outside, and not inside. He has been accident free.
Outdoors he is currently guided with a harness and leash while he continues to build confidence. He can be a little hesitant when first stepping onto hard surfaces, but once he reaches the yard, he navigates his surroundings surprisingly well and explores with increasing confidence.
As he continues to learn his environment, we expect his comfort level to keep improving.
He is shy to human touch but accepts some head pats, and body rubs.

ROXIE was 'found' on the side of the road in KCMO, then abandoned at a local vet with injuries consistent with being thrown from a moving car. She transferred to MOGS after completing a mandatory stray hold, and her world has been looking up since! MEDICALRoxie is up-to-date on vaccines, has an active rabies tag, is microchipped and has been spayed. Roxie suffered fractured teeth during whatever incident caused her injuries, and will be having those extracted in the next few days. Roxie is also Heartworm POSITIVE, and will begin treatment under MOGS' supervision, as soon as she is recovered from her dental surgery.

LEXI was transferred to MOGS after being found on the property of a local business, so a stray hold and owner search could be conducted, and to get her the immediate medical help that she needed. At the time of transfer, Lexi was underweight, covered in fleas, missing large amounts of fur, was weak in the back legs from malnutrition, had double ear infections, and was covered in sores and a body-wide skin infection
Temperament/Behavior
Lexi is a sweet Shepherd who is discovering what it means to be a beloved family member after being found abandoned as a stray. She appears to have spent much of her previous life as an outside-only dog, so she is learning the routines, comforts, and joys of indoor family life.
She is a quiet girl with very little barking and has not demonstrated separation anxiety in her foster home. Lexi goes willingly into her kennel and is comfortable using it during the day for quiet, uninterrupted rest time.
She is currently recovering from her recent spay and skin tag removal procedures and has had no complications. As she continues to heal and settle into her new routine, more of her personality is emerging every day.
Training
Lexi is still learning the basics and would benefit from a patient family who will continue building her confidence and skills. She needs additional work with leash walking and is continuing to learn basic commands such as sit, down, and come.
She is eager to experience life with her people, and consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement will help her continue to blossom.
People
Lexi can be a little cautious around men and has shown some cowering behavior, so she will benefit from gentle, positive interactions that allow her to build trust at her own pace.
She is good with children and has done well at MOGS meet-and-greets, where she has enjoyed attention, pets, and interaction with people. She also interacts well with other Shepherds who are looking for their forever homes.
Lexi is happiest when she can be near her people and will happily follow you throughout the house—a trait that is very typical of this loyal and people-oriented breed.
Medical
Lexi is up-to-date on vaccines, has a current Rabies tag, is microchipped, and has been spayed. Other than recovering from her recent spay and skin tag removal incisions, Lexi has no known medical issues at this time. Her recovery has been uncomplicated.
