More about Lyra

Smart and intelligent are the words to describe our lovely gal Lyra. She is an Australian Shepherd mix at around 5 months old and weighing around 26 pounds. Looking forward, she will have growing to do to reach her full-grown weight and our best guess is that she will be a large gal over somewhere over 60 pounds. Time will tell for sure, but we certainly do not need time to know this girl is a sweetheart.She comes into rescue from a hoarding situation and there have been many changes in her life. She is making great progress and learning to trust people; however, she may be shy in a new environment so slow introductions will be the key until she has time to adjust. Lyra does well with other dogs and children but has not been exposed to cats since coming into rescue. At this time, we do not know how she would react to a cat companion.She is learning her skill set of house, crate and leash training. She aims to please and is bright and enthusiastic. She will put in her best effort to learn her skills and make her family proud of her. Lyra has much to learn when it comes to living the good life. We know she will ease into it and then submerse herself in all the love and attention offered to her. She did not know what she was missing until now. She is more than ready to turn the page to the next chapter of her life. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
