About this Dog
Meet Lyle, your future best friend in the making! He came to PAWS as a very shy stray, unsure of the world around him. But with patience, love, and some reassurance from his foster siblings, this scruffy sweetheart has truly started to blossom. Now, he’s a goofy and affectionate guy discovering just how fun and full life can be, and on the search for his forever home! While Lyle is still learning the ropes—like feeling 100% comfortable when being left alone—he's making steady progress every day. He would thrive in a calm, supportive home with adopters who are willing to let him take things at his pace. And in return, he’ll give you his whole heart, and be the most loyal companion! Once Lyle trusts you, you’re in his circle forever. His foster mom says, “Lyle just wants to find his person or people, and have love and companionship. He takes a moment to let people in, but once he does, he wants all their love and affection, and as much time as he can get.” He has found his joy in toys—especially the squeaky, stuffy kind. He’ll proudly carry one around like treasure and has become a big fan of fetch (he’s still working on the whole “drop it” part, but hey, progress!). When it’s time for cuddles, he’s all in—whether that means gently nudging your hand for pets, or hopping right into your lap for some serious under-the-chin scratchies. Lyle is currently living in a foster home with other dogs, and he absolutely loves having his canine crew around. He’d be happiest in a home with another playful pup who can match his energy and love of zoomies, or one where he can have dog friends to keep the good times rolling! Lyle might take a little time to fully settle in, but once he does, you’ll see just how special he truly is. He’s ready to keep growing, loving, and having fun—right by your side. If you've got a quiet home, a gentle heart, and maybe a squeaky toy or two... Lyle just might be your guy!

100% of Lyle's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Lyle.
Adopt Lyle and Receive Lyle's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Lyle's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Lyle's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Lyle, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Lyle's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Lyle was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Lyle’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Lyle’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Lyle’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
