Lyra - Golden Retriever and Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler Dog for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Lyra is a 9-week-old Golden Retriever/Heeler mix with a heart as big as her puppy-dog eyes! This sweet girl loves nothing more than snuggling up with her favorite humans after a fun day of exploring and playing.

Like any young puppy, Lyra is learning the ropes. She's making great progress with potty training and is already sleeping through the night without any accidents! She's also working on crate training. While she's getting used to her crate, she'd much rather curl up next to a person for a cozy night's sleep.

Lyra is social, playful, and loves spending time with other dogs-especially her foster brother, Crux! The two have a blast playing together, and she would thrive in a home with a canine companion to romp around with. She's also very curious about cats and enjoys watching and investigating them with her typical puppy enthusiasm. With continued guidance and positive introductions, she'll continue learning how to be a respectful companion to all her furry friends.

As a Golden Retriever/Heeler mix, Lyra is likely to grow into an intelligent, active dog who will thrive with a family committed to training, playtime, and plenty of love. In return, she'll reward you with endless cuddles, tail wags, and puppy kisses.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, and adventurous best friend to grow up with your family, Lyra might just be your perfect match!

Adoption Fee is $450 plus tax.
