About Lyra

Lyra has survived a tough start, ending up abandoned and malnourished before the shelter found her. Despite losing her puppies, she bounced back—she’s put weight on, recovered well, and is ready for a new chapter. House trained and affectionate, Lyra loves going for walks or simply being by your side, and she’s comfortable spending quiet time alone when needed. She tested positive for heartworms, but don’t worry—the treatment is already underway and she hasn’t shown any symptoms. Lyra’s energy is back up, she enjoys running and playing, but she should be the only dog in her new home for now. In return, she’ll be a loyal single companion who respects the house rules and is happiest sticking close to her person. Lyra would be a great fit for a house looking for a sweet, committed friend. Your new best friend is just one click away.
