About Layla

Meet Layla! Layla landed at the shelter after her knack for chewing got the best of her household—she's nibbled shoes, tackled toys, and even taken on a few suspicious pillows. She has a reputation for redecorating, sometimes in her own style. Like a lot of dogs, Layla will do best with some structure and an assortment of tough toys that satisfy her urge to chew. She responds well to patience and guidance, and with the right attention, Layla’s playful energy can settle nicely into home life. She can’t join a home with other dogs, but she does get along with cats. Layla is looking for a family ready to invest in a little training and a lot of love. If you’re up for embracing her goofy, loyal personality and helping her channel those chewing talents, Layla will reward you with affection and a big heart. Her sun sign is Pisces, which means she tends to be gentle and loving—when she isn’t making confetti out of slippers. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
