Kyra's Journey to Happily Ever After

By Amy King

Nine-month-old Kyra first came to the HSVC as an owner surrender after her previous owner could no longer care for her. She was very shy when she first arrived at the Shelter and was only comfortable being handled by a select few of our Kennel Staff. However, over time Kyra slowly opened up and became a happy, sweet pup. Despite her young age, the gorgeous Tibetan Mastiff was already over 75 pounds and growing fast. We knew she would need a very special home with owners who had experience with her specific breed.
