About Lyca

Lyca brings a touch of magic with her name, which has rich meanings across cultures. In Greek, it connects to wolves, embodying strength and loyalty. This playful shepherd mix embodies those qualities, especially after being with her previous family for over two years. They shared that she is affectionate, enjoys car rides, knows tricks, and is house trained. Active and silly, Lyca thrives on fun times and would enjoy a companion who can keep up with her high energy. Volunteers adore her zest for life; one noted, "On walks, she's very energetic and zig zags like a pro. In the yard, she's sweet and loves attention, always staying close to you." Lyca gets along well with other pups, having shared her kennel happily and interacted positively during playgroup sessions. However, she prefers homes without cats. If you're searching for joy in a lovely, floofy package, Lyca is excited to meet you!
