About Myra

Myra is a 5-6 year old female black Scottish Terrier currently waiting for her last medical appointment before adoption. She’s come a long way in the few months she’s been with us, mastering leash walking, navigating steps, and housetraining. Having come from a breeding facility, much of this is new for her, but she’s proving to be a smart and quick learner. Myra enjoys her life in foster care, revealing her sweet and gentle nature. She gets along well with other dogs, but she's on the shy side and will need patience and encouragement in her new home. While she has dry eye that is managed with prescription drops and a low-grade heart murmur that requires daily medication, she’s doing well overall. These considerations will be important for any potential adopter to keep in mind. Myra is currently fostered west of Philadelphia, just waiting for someone to make her a part of their family.
