About Layla

Layla’s happy, big smile tends to make people melt right away. At one year old and weighing about 30 lbs, she’s a medium-sized, sweet, and smart Beagle with a playful side that’s hard to miss. Layla loves squeaky toys, fetch, tug-of-war, and just being silly. After playtime, she’s more than happy to relax in your lap and soak up some attention. She’s bouncy and energetic, but not hyper—she moves easily from friend to friend and seems to be in a good mood around just about everyone she meets. Layla gets along well with other dogs and is known to be gentle with indoor cats (though may try to chase outdoors). She is also great with children and fits in naturally with happy, active families. She’s still working on her leash skills, but her eagerness to please and her smarts make her quick to learn new things. Layla is spayed, vaccinated, on heartworm preventative, and microchipped. She is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease as a precaution, with no symptoms before or during treatment, and she is expected to recover fully. If you have questions about her medical history, the rescue will be happy to discuss details. Layla has a silly, loving nature and is ready to join a family that will truly appreciate her joy and devotion. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
