About Layla

Meet Layla, the six-month-old mix of Dachshund and Chihuahua who knows exactly when to play hard and when to curl up for a good snooze. Layla flows with her foster home's rhythm—one minute she's romping in the yard with her dog pals, the next she's snuggling on the couch, completely content. She gets along well with other dogs and loves being part of a pack but is just as happy soaking up all the attention as your solo pup. Her manners are impressive for her age: Layla sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate, is completely house trained, and has mastered sitting and polite leash walking. She handles the doggie door like she's been doing it forever. Whether life is busy or laid-back, Layla fits right in. A home with another dog would be great, but she's equally fine soaking up the spotlight by herself. Layla is friendly, gentle, and eager to bond. There's not much "puppy chaos" in her—she's already settled and waiting for the right home to make her feel truly safe and loved. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
