• “Hi, I’m Lyra! My best friends are my ball and my PawPaw, but my moms and Grandma are pretty awesome too. I don’t like meeting new people or dogs in strange places, I feel like I need to protect my moms by barking as loudly as possible and looking mean - even though I’m really just a big goofball. I prefer to have a space to myself and my family without the worry of new friends joining us, but I promise my moms always pick up after me and leave a place better than they found it! I hope you will let me come and play at your Sniffspot!“

Looking to sit on the couch, fear not her majesty will accompany you on said couch looking for your undivided attention and praise you will all the kisses in the world! While she may seem cute and cuddly, don’t be fooled…she is the queen of chaos for a reason. As first born to her not so royal family, she rules the roost for her fellow subjects. Leading with pure chaotic energy, most commonly being the loudest in house for the entire neighborhood to hear clearly! She’s full of life and ENDLESS energy!“

  — Graciela B.
