Meet Lyra

Meet Lyra! This 16 week, 22 pound, Shepherd mix is the sweetest puppy with quite a bit of growing left to do! Although she is such a young pup, she has learned so much since coming into rescue and is eager to continue learning how to be a rockstar dog! She's the most eager to please out of her siblings, making her a very trainable puppy!

Lyra is so gentle with every dog and person she meets. She loves to meet new people and loves kids and dogs alike! She is also very attentive and ready to listen and learn at every opportunity. She is the first of her siblings to learn every new trick her foster family teaches. She's mastered sit, down, shake and is 90% there with stay! Lyra is potty trained and working on crate training. But of her siblings, she needs another dog nearby to settle. If she is by herself without another dog in a crate nearby she will sing you the song of her people forever.

Lyra is also the most attached to her foster home's resident dog. She loves to curl up next to him and she is the first to greet him in the morning or choose him over play time with her siblings. For that reason, she really does need another dog in the house. As far as cats go, she has limited experience. She's been largely uninterested in the ones she's met and would likely do well in a home with cats. Lyra also has limited experience with children but has been very gentle with the one's she has met. Since she's still growing and learning, we recommend slow and supervised introductions with any new kids she meets.

Due to Lyra's likely breed makeup, she's been known to be vocal when interacting with her foster family and resident dogs. For this reason, she may not be a candidate for shared walls. It's also ideal that Lyra have access to a fenced yard with outdoor space to explore and burn off extra energy. Her ideal forever home will be one that's dedicated to meeting her activity needs and continued training.

Lyra's ready to meet her forever family! With patience and consistent training, she will be sure to develop into the perfect dog anyone could ask for.

The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional's recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal's history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.
