About Lyra

Meet Lyra, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix looking for her perfect forever home! After being rescued from the Santa Clarita Valley Shelter, she's longing for a place where she can truly thrive. Her current family has cats that she's struggling to get along with, so they're determined to find her a better fit. Lyra is intelligent and affectionate, ready to form a loyal bond with her new best friend. This spayed female knows basic commands, is both crate and potty-trained, and is up to date on vaccinations. She’s currently working on her dog reactivity through training, so an experienced adopter is ideal. A private yard without cats and ideally no other pets would suit her best. She needs someone patient, committed to continuing her training, and giving her time to adjust. Lyra is safe with her current family until the right home comes along.
