Lyra is a beautiful 10-month-old, 40 lb pup who’s more of a “curl up on the couch and watch Netflix” type than an adventure girl. While her eight siblings quickly found homes after they arrived on the Freedom Bus in March 2025, Lyra needed a little extra time to blossom. She started life in unsafe conditions with no vet care, but thanks to SoCo and her wonderful foster family, she has made tremendous progress in building confidence.

Lyra is still uncertain around other dogs, so she’ll do best as the only pet. She’s very sweet and friendly with people, and is just learning to walk on a leash after spending time in her foster’s fenced yard learning to feel comfortable with the world. With a medium energy level and a love of couch time, Lyra will make an easy, loving companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend.

Lyra and her eight siblings came in as owner surrenders. The pups, only 7-8 weeks old at the time, had not received any of their required vaccinations or de-wormings and were left to roam freely around the property which was littered with trash, broken down vehicles and other unsanitary conditions. upon their arrival to SoCo Rescue, we immediately began administering their vet care.

Lyra has now received all of her first year "puppy" vaccinations, de-wormings and other preventative care. She's also been started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
