Lyra is a high-content female wolf-dog born in the spring of 2018. She came to us as a rescue in October of 2022. As a black-phase wolf-dog—much like some black wolves in the wild—she was born jet black and continues to “phase” to a lighter color over time. Lyra is a mixture of subspecies of wolves found in the Midwest/West. While she is still aloof with crowds, she is still curious. She occasionally gives our guests kisses and is getting more affectionate as time goes on.

Lyra gets along with a majority of our animals and is extremely social. She loves running and playing with her pen-mate, Jack, and during play dates with some of the other animals, including Katara, Raven, and Oberon. She is a wonderful addition to the HWF family, and we love watching this sweet lady come out of her shell more and more every day.
