My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Thyra, a 6-month-old Italian Greyhound–Lab mix with a gentle heart and a big need for understanding. Before coming to us, she had never left her home, so the world is still very new and overwhelming to her. Despite that, she has shown us just how sweet, affectionate, and loving she can be with the adults she trusts.
Thyra is scared of children and would be most comfortable in an adult-only home. She’s tolerant around other dogs but doesn’t really enjoy their company, so she may thrive as an only dog—or with a calm dog who won’t mind her preference for space. Her favorite thing in the world is snuggling, and once she feels safe, she’ll happily curl up with you for nap time and quiet companionship.
Because she missed out on early socialization, Thyra is still learning how to navigate new environments and experiences. She’ll need patient adopters committed to helping her build confidence through gentle, positive behavior modification. With consistency, support, and a calm home, Thyra will blossom into the devoted, cuddly companion she’s meant to be.
