Meet Lyra, a delightful 8-year-old Shepherd mix who weighs a sturdy 55 pounds. This gentle girl has a heart full of love and a spirit that’s still spry enough for daily walks and adventures. After being rescued from a hoarding situation on Christmas Day in 2025, she patiently waited at the shelter, seeing many others find homes. Now it's her time to shine. Lyra has blossomed in her foster care, showcasing her happy-go-lucky personality. She perks up for car rides and joyfully zooms around when the wind is just right. With her medium energy, Lyra enjoys her walks and then curls up for a cozy nap at your feet. While she gets along well with other dogs, Lyra prefers the company of medium or large male companions who share her easygoing nature. She does not get along with cats or small animals. Ideal adopters will have a spacious, fenced yard and flexible schedules, making her feel at home. Lyra is spayed, fully vetted, and house trained, ready to enrich a loving home with her charm. Fostered near Gig Harbor, she’s available for meet-and-greets with pre-approved adopters. Adoption fee is $150. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
