About Layla

Layla is a lively 3-year-old Husky and Australian Cattle Dog mix with striking black, white, and tan fur. She’s spent the last two years with her current owner, who can’t keep her due to out-of-state work commitments. Layla is sharp, loyal, and loves a good fetch session or long walk outdoors. She’s at her best around active people who can match her energy and give her room to roam. Treats get her attention, and she has a good grasp of basic commands. Layla gets along well with children and enjoys most new people, though she sometimes jumps up in her excitement. She’s comfortable with others handling her toys or food. With new dogs, she can be shy and might growl if they seem unfriendly but settles quickly at dog parks and turns playful once familiar. She isn’t spayed yet but is current on her vaccines. Potty-training status is unclear. Layla thrives on attention, exercise, and outdoor time—she’ll do best with someone who has a busy, active lifestyle. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
