Some dogs don't just want a home... they want their person. Meet LAILA — a petite 3-year-old Flat-Coated Retriever weighing a perfect 47 pounds of loyalty and love. Rescued from the shelter with no known backstory, Laila wears her heart on her sleeve. She's what we lovingly call a "level 5 clinger," which tells us she may have been left behind before. Laila bonds deeply and quickly. She'll sleep quietly beside your bed, follow you from room to room, and look at you like you're her whole world - because to her, you are. She'll do best in a home where someone is around often, at least while she settles in and learns she's safe for good. She walks beautifully in a loose heel (with a little excited energy at first), tolerated her bath like a lady, and her long, shiny black coat is absolutely stunning. She's mostly neutral and avoidant with other dogs, but can be protective of her space and affection if challenged — she may prefer to be your one-and-only or have very respectful canine company. She's not a big fan of car rides yet, but considering she likely hasn't had many, she handled it bravely. Laila is a dreamy, sensitive soul with so much potential. In the right home - patient, present, and full of reassurance — she will blossom into the most devoted forever companion.
