Story
Hi! My name is Jolina. Before I got rescued by Lucci's, I was at the big scary city shelter, terrified of people. I don't really know how I got there, some ladies put some food in a box and the next thing I knew, I couldn't get out! People had reported seeing me run around for 2 weeks with my front leg hurting. Once I got to the shelter the doctor there said my leg was a healed break. I found it hard to make friends at the shelter, but my foster mom took me under her wing, and worked on socializing me. I have turned out to love her! I turn to her for confidence when I'm not sure about something. As you can see from my photo, I have the best smile! I am a spayed female, approximately 2 years old, weigh 34lbs and love going on walks around my neighborhood and coming back home to a frozen peanut butter kong. I am dog and cat friendly! I prefer a dog who isn't super playful and will leave my toys alone. I don't really like to share, though my foster mom tells me sharing is caring… I am mostly housebroken, but sometimes I do have accidents overnight so my foster mom leaves potty pads down & I do use those! I have not met any kids yet, but I don't think young kids would be my cup of tea. They're very loud and move too fast, but older teenagers who respect my space will do just fine. I do have stranger danger, and like to protect my person. Men are also pretty scary. The most important thing to know about me is that once I feel safe around you, you have my complete trust. I will love you forever!

 Meet Lyra! She might be considered a “senior “ at 8 years young, but she still has plenty of play in her! She absolutely loves playing with toys, especially stuffies. She enjoys just carrying them around and showing you her “prize”. She has the cutest tip tap dance walk and knows how to show you an adorable face to get all the yummies, that she takes well. She is hoping to find her forever home to settle down in. She would make an excellent lounge companion!
