Meet Layla! 🌼 This sweet and gentle soul is just starting to discover the joys of being a dog, and she’s ready to find her forever family! Layla spent much of her early life in a breeding facility, where she was known for raising puppies, yet her own world was small and lonely. But now, with the love of her foster family, she is slowly learning to trust and embrace this big, beautiful world! 🐾 After two months, she's finally comfortable enough to lie in the same room as her humans and, with a little encouragement, she comes over for soft pets that melt hearts! Isn’t that just precious? 💖 Layla’s journey is a testament that healing takes time. She needs a family that understands this deeply—one that celebrates her small victories, offers her patience, and showers her with compassion. 💞 Now, let’s talk about her ideal home! Layla will thrive best in a calm environment without small children, where she can take her time to adjust. A fenced yard would be perfect for her explorations, allowing her to wander safely, and she would absolutely love a confident dog buddy to show her the ropes and help her feel secure in her new space! 🐕 However, Layla does come with a special note! During her first month in foster care, she was quite the escape artist! 🏃‍♀️ When outside, there was no getting her back in—that was her flight mode. So, her future family must be extremely cautious and ready for a long lead during outdoor adventures, even in a fenced area. Her foster mom is a fantastic resource, armed with tips to help Layla feel safe, build trust, and learn the ropes of coming inside calmly. 🏡 Let's talk about some of Layla’s everyday challenges! She’s still mastering skills that many dogs take for granted, like navigating stairs—she’s braving single steps but needs encouragement for multiple ones. Patience, love, and gentle guidance will be key in her development! Plus, here’s a quirky tidbit: Layla won’t eat from a bowl! It’s a reminder of her past, when bowls may have signified stress. Instead, she happily gobbles up her food hand-fed by her foster mom, right out of her kennel! How endearing is that? 🍽️ Layla may be a ‘designer breed,’ but she’s also a survivor, ready to learn that love can be eternal! With understanding and a little bit of time, she’s destined to blossom into the loyal companion she was always meant to be.
