About Layla Walworth Kramer

Layla Walworth Kramer came to rescue after living in a home that grew overwhelmed while trying to help too many unwanted dogs. She’s been in care for over a year now and is ready to find a home that truly understands her. Layla is a medium-sized, adult female who likes routines and quiet spaces—she’s content at home and prefers to rule the roost from the sofa instead of joining in on park trips or excursions. While she’s successfully lived with other dogs, Layla can be territorial about her food, so mealtimes need a bit of management. She doesn’t get along with cats and must have a child-free environment. Strangers make her nervous, so a calm household with minimal visitors will help her settle in. Deeply loyal, Layla wants to be close to her person and thrives in a steady, low-traffic home. If you’re looking for a faithful, stay-at-home companion and understand her boundaries, Layla could be the right fit. Start your journey together! Apply now.
