Layla and her mother, Valentine, have seen more than their share of turmoil. First, they were saved from abuse and neglect, then adopted, only to find themselves lost again when their family faced unexpected hardship. Thanks to microchips and some caring souls—from a friend who piloted them back across states to the Sanctuary in Orangeburg, SC—they’re safe and thriving. Layla greets everyone with kisses and warmth. She’s always up for a car ride or walk, handles a leash perfectly, and never misses a chance to play or cuddle. She’s especially gentle with children, absolutely loves people, and gets along with most dogs and other animals. Potty trained, independent, and genuinely happy, she bonds deeply with her humans, and though she adores her mom, she’s just as comfortable branching out on her own. If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing dog who brings sunshine everywhere, Layla’s a standout. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
