Lexi is a passionate dog rescuer in the Houston, TX area. In 5 years Lexi and her husband have rescued over 300 dogs. They have found their niche in primarily rescuing senior and special needs dogs over the past couple of years.

On April 4th, 2020 Lexi will line up at the Brazos Bend 50 with the goal of running 50 miles. It will take a lot of grit to get to the finish line, especially in the hot, swampy conditions of the trail. To help motivate her she will dedicate her miles to fundraising for Albert’s Dog Lounge. Think of your donation on a per mile basis. If you find it in your heart to donate $25 that’s just 50 cents per mile! The $2,500goal translates to $50 per mile for the mutts!




What impact can your donation have for Albert’s Dog Lounge? 




- $10 for a rabies vaccine  - $25 for a health certificate -$100 for a spay  -$250 for a dental cleaning  -$500 for a large mass removal (see main fundraising photo of Cookie!)  Albert’s spends on average $1,000 per dog which their $250 adoption fee doesn’t begin to cover!  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/45588050_1582084827432314_r.jpeg" alt="45588050_1582084827432314_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> Albert’s Dog Lounge primarily takes dogs from Texas and transports them up to Wisconsin where there are lists of approved adopters waiting for them! How beautiful is that? There are people in Wisconsin LINING UP to adopt old dogs that were once abandoned or neglected.

Chavonne (pictured above) was found in the middle of the road in Texas unable to walk by a school bus driver. Thanks to Alberts she made a full recovery and now lives the good life in Wisconsin with her loving forever family. Chavonne had a large mass removed from her neck/face and had many complications from the procedure to overcome. But she prevailed thanks to Albert’s and her foster mom Lexi. Some parting thoughts for you from Lexi after the February transport left with her foster, Dallas, on board: I get sad and angry every transport. It’s hard to send them off after all the love and effort we put in and to not receive the satisfaction and closure that a local adoption day would bring. I get angry that we are the ones having to put ourselves through this emotional journey because of someone else’s neglect. And the exhaustion that, transport day just means that the process will be starting all over again soon with another dog and I’ll be crying once again watching a van drive off. It’s great to make the WORLD of difference for one dog....but after that one, there are so many others waiting in line for their turn. It’s hard not to feel hopeless sometimes with how dire the situation is here in Houston.
