LYRA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Lyra arrived following a transfer from Romania. She is a young, lively dog who is sociable and close to humans once she gains confidence (though she may appear a bit shy at first). She loves running and playing. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. She can live with respectful children. She likely had an accident in the past; she has a limp in her hind legs. Tests have been conducted, revealing that she suffers from spinal cord compression, which, in addition to causing urinary and fecal incontinence, also affects her mobility.

Lyra est arrivée suite à un transfert de Roumanie. C'est une jeune chienne pleine de vie, sociable et proche de l'humain lorsqu'elle prend confiance (elle peut se révéler un peu timide au premier abord). Elle adore courir et s'amuser. Ses ententes avec les chats n'ont pas été testées. Elle pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux. Elle a probablement eu un accident par le passé, elle présente une boiterie des pattes arrières, des examens ont été faits, elle présente une compression de la moelle épinière, ce qui lui cause en plus de l'incontinence urinaire et fécale.

About LYRA

What life with LYRA looks like

LYRA is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Arras (Tilloy) in Arras.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LYRA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LYRA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Arras (Tilloy) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LYRA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LYRA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Arras (Tilloy) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is LYRA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if LYRA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Arras (Tilloy) early rather than rehoming privately; they know LYRA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
