Acclaimed choreographer Twyla Tharp turned 85 this month. We don’t know if namesake Twyla, a large-mixed breed at Lowell Humane Society likes to dance, but she is extremely friendly and easy with kids, other dogs, and even dog-friendly cats!

he was found as a stray in Tyngsboro, and was very grateful to be rescued. Twyla is about 8 years old and in good health. She’s under 50 pounds, with a speckled waist coat and an award-winning smile. She’d love to join your family, or be your close companion.
