About Myra

Myra’s story starts with hardship but now centers around her remarkable resilience and joy. When she arrived, it was obvious she’d been through too much; yet her spirit stayed strong. Myra adapted quickly, showing steady forgiveness and infectious enthusiasm for life. She’s now thriving, enjoying the simple pleasures of being a beloved pet — running, playing, and soaking up affection. A Doberman and Shepherd mix, with a touch of Golden Retriever, Myra brings together intelligence, loyalty, confidence, and that unmistakable retriever sweetness. She’s sharp, people-focused, and eager to learn, which makes her an engaging companion. Myra is nearly fully potty trained and only getting better with structure and routine. She’d do best with someone who can offer her consistency and channel her energy through exercise, play, and ongoing guidance. Her favorite thing? Soft toys. She collects them, treasures them, and carries them around gently — adopters get her and her stuffies as a set. Myra fits right in with active families, older kids, and homes with large dogs. She hasn’t been exposed to small dogs or cats, and her puppy energy may overwhelm toddlers, but she’s otherwise easy with new friends. She needs a yard (with a real fence) to burn off her zest. Her loyalty and positive outlook brighten every room she enters, and all she’s waiting for is a committed home that wants a smart, affectionate, playful young dog as part of the family. Myra’s ready for her next chapter. Click apply to start the adoption process.
