Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hi there! My name is Lyra, and I’m on a quest to find my forever family. Let me tell you a bit about myself!
I’m an independent spirit with a curious mind—I love exploring and checking out new things, but sometimes I just need a little encouragement to be brave. Once I feel confident, I’m all in!
I absolutely adore my humans and love to follow them around like their loyal shadow. If you leave me alone, I might whine for a little bit, but don’t worry—I settle down quickly and make the most of my me-time.
When it comes to making new doggy friends, I’m friendly but appreciate a slow introduction. Once we’re buddies, we can play together! Oh, speaking of play—I LOVE toys! Squeaky ones, bouncy ones, you name it.
I’m still learning the ropes of potty training, but I’m doing really well using a pee pad in my xpen. With a little patience and guidance, I’ll have it all figured out in no time.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a curious heart and playful spirit, I might be your girl! Could you be my forever family?
Lyra is estimated to be 11 weeks old and 10 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at https://safehandsrescue.org/adoption-process/ and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.
We are also holding the following upcoming adoption events!
Sunday, November 24, noon-2pm, Unmapped Brewing, 14625 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345 https://www.facebook.com/events/1254978935847465
Animal attendance is subject to change based on their availability. Please check our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/safehandsrescue/ for confirmed attendance the morning of the event.

We only adopt out animals to homes within 60 miles of the Twin Cities. Our adoption process begins with the return of our pre-adoption form, available on our website. After reviewing your application a meeting is scheduled between you and the pup, sometimes in the fosters home or at a neutral dog friendly place. If any resident dogs are in your home, it is recommended that the pups meet at this time. After the meeting a home visit is scheduled and if everything goes well with the visit the adoption is finalized at that time. A home visit by one of Safe Hands representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pup will be living sometime during the adoption process.

More about this rescue
Safe Hands is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. Of great importance to us is to reduce the stray population and need for healthy animal euthanasia through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the furry creatures that share our lives.
We are a small, no-kill, volunteer run organization. All of our dogs listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the dogs' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter.
This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We have a great need for foster homes. If you are interested in providing foster care, and live within an hour of the Twin Cities, please e-mail us
Donations ALWAYS needed are: dog crates, puppy pee pads, natures miracle (for pet stain removal), Nutrisource brand puppy and dog food, Lysol disinfecting wipes, paper towels, large clean towels, dog toys, leashes, collars and gas cards to help with our transports.
