About Layla

Layla is a playful, affectionate pup with a thick, dark chocolate-black coat and a flash of white on her chest. She showed up at the shelter at just 7 weeks old after being found roadside in a cardboard box with her littermates. By almost six months, Layla is all puppy—full of energy, curiosity, and sweetness. She gets along great with other dogs, enjoys romping with her siblings, and loves being part of the action. Layla is part Lab, part Terrier, giving her a fun blend of smarts and pep, and she’s looking for a home ready for the good kind of chaos that comes with a young, active dog. She’ll be spayed soon and has her vaccinations up to date. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
