About Myla

Myla is a striking three-year-old mixed-breed dog with a short, tan and white coat and weighs about 68 pounds. Originally adopted as a Shepherd mix, she’s a head-turner and would be fun to DNA test. As a house-trained and crate-trained dog, she settles in her crate for up to five hours and rarely puts a paw wrong in the house. She gets along well with other dogs, living peaceably with her canine sibling, and absolutely adores young children—especially the toddler she has been sharing life with. While she hasn’t been tested with cats, her track record with dogs and kids is strong, so a cat-free home may be best. Myla is used to yard play or regular strolls around the block, and dog park visits are her idea of a good time. She knows basic commands, cooperates for grooming, and typically falls right in line with family routines. Myla’s world changed when her owner passed away, so she’s searching for a new person to connect with and trust. If you’re seeking a loyal and fun companion who already brings plenty to the table, Myla’s ready for her next chapter. Click apply to start the adoption process.
