lyra - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fredericksburg, Virginia

At just 5 years old, this young lady has so much life, love, and fun ahead of her-and she's hoping her next chapter leads straight to her forever family.

She joined our rescue as a heartworm-positive girl, but don't let that stop you from getting to know her! Our rescue will be taking care of her heartworm treatment. In the meantime, she's hoping to find a loving foster-to-adopt family who will open their home and heart to her while she completes her treatment and gets ready for her official adoption.

And this girl has plenty of personality to share!

Great with other dogs
Great with cats
Great with kids
Playful and fun-loving
Ready to give her people lots of love

She doesn't know that she has a little medical hurdle to overcome-she just knows she's ready to play, love, and finally have a family of her own.

Could you be the family who gives her a safe place to land while she gets healthy and ready for her forever life?

Open your heart, open your home, and maybe be the family she's been waiting for.
