About Kyra

Meet Kyra! This energetic 4-year-old Border Collie mix is ready to find her forever home. Kyra weighs about 72 lbs and was rescued as a stray by Rico through the Franklin County Dog Shelter. She's sweet and always up for an adventure, boasting a playful spirit that keeps her on the go. Kyra is housebroken and does well when left alone. She's friendly and loves to greet everyone she meets. A fetch enthusiast, she never seems to tire of the game. Kyra enjoys walks too and is currently honing her leash manners. While free-roaming the house, she has proven to be trustworthy. This high-energy girl is looking for an equally active family and would prefer a tolerant fur sibling who can handle her bossy nature. She has thrived in her foster home, though she still needs some confidence-building. Her new family should be ready for lots of fun and games, including a few chew toys along the way! Ready to meet this sweet girl? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
