Please meet sweet and 6 month-old Shepherd mix, Lyra!
Lyra is a sweet and affectionate girl. Lyra will take all the pets, cuddles, and belly rubs you offer. She would love to just snuggle all the time! Once she gets to know you she bonds very fast. Lyra loves tagging along around the yard with her foster mom and her 3 young children. She especially loves the family’s 2 year old daughter. She loved the afternoon they had the sprinklers on for the kids. While Lyra steered clear of the water, she was just as joyful and happy as the kids.
Lyra takes time getting used to new people. She has been very cautious. With time though, she has gotten more comfortable with the foster dad and even closer with her foster mom. Lyra sleeps very well in her crate all night without a single complaint. (Although, she still takes a little convincing to get in.) She is doing great with house training. When she has access to a yard and/or frequent trips outside she does very well. Lyra has seen the garden cats on many occasions and it has been a non-event.
While Lyra is a Velcro dog with her favorite person, she also does just fine having alone time. Her favorite past times are getting cozy under the desk or in her bed and laying in the sun. Lyra has been loving the quiet countryside. Lyra does pretty well on a leash too. Lyra is also very spunky! She gets the zoomies, and is lighting fast!
Lyra is approximately 6 months old and will be around 55 lbs when fully grown. She’s wonderful with kids, dogs and could possibly due well with cats. She is however shy with human strangers and takes time, but after she knows you’re not there to hurt her, she’ll fall in love with her human person soon! If interested in meeting Lyra, please submit an adoption application. (BS)
