Story
Lyra is looking for her forever home after living a horrible life. Lyra is approximately five years old and was picked up by Corpus Christi Animal Care Services, a kill shelter, where she had been found in someone’s backyard. She was in full-blown labor with a puppy stuck in the birth canal. She was rushed to a local emergency vet hospital, where a full hysterectomy was performed, including removing the dead puppy from her birth canal. There was only one puppy that survived and he only survived for one week. When Lyra came into the shelter. She had had a horrible skin condition and also it was notated that she had a scar from a prior cesarean so she was obviously used for breeding. She also had no paw on her one back leg, which she had been attempting to use, and it had open sores on the stump. To make matters worse, she also tested positive for Heartworms. As you can see, her back leg had to be amputated and she has also been treated for the Heartworms. Lyra absolutely loves people, but does not get along with other animals!!! I had her tested with a trainer and the results are included on this post. She would do wonderful with a family that had teenagers but not small children as she is wonderful with people but she is very strong. She is only about knee-high and weighs 47 pounds. Lyra doesn’t understand how big she is and if you sit on the floor, she will crawl in your lap. This girl deserves a wonderful life as she has been through more than any animal ever should be put through. There’s no telling all that she has been through. She absolutely must be the only animal in the home. She has jumped on a dog in her first and second Foster home, but did not draw blood on either dog and stopped when told to stop. If you think you are the person or people Lyra needs, please contact me. Thank you. 025, 4:31 PM Lyra was brought to me on April 5th, 2025 for an evaluation of temperament and potential for rehabilitation. She was receptive to redirection with training tools that included the use of a pinch collar to communicate more effectively through the leash. I was able to walk her within a few feet of my personal dogs and redirect her attention towards me with no further escalation towards the dogs. She was willing to accept instruction to follow me, walk onto a place cot, and bring her head up for attention and further instruction. I believe she has the potential with time and the right person/s to become a productive member of someone's home. Training using a balanced approach that clearly presents proper rules, boundaries, and limitations I believe will provide the best long term and overall chances for success at reintegration into the proper home.

Story
Scarface is such a good dog and listens to commands very well. He is mainly an outside dog but when it starts getting cold outside he will want to go inside to be warm. He does not get along with any other animals, but is friendly and loving with humans. Unfortunately his owner passed away in January 2026 and sadly we do not have anyone else to take care of him. We want Scarface to go to a loving home to live out the rest of his life.
