About Layla

Layla is a 1.5-year-old, 20-pound bundle of affection and energy who’s looking for a family that loves adventure as much as she does. She thrives on outdoor time—running zoomies around a yard and tagging along for car rides are top on her list. A home with a large fenced yard or acreage suits her best, giving her the space she needs to burn off steam. Layla can live with other dogs, but proper introductions and a calm, older sibling dog are important since she can be selective when meeting new canine friends. She isn’t a good fit for homes with cats. After arriving in a new place, she’ll need a few days to decompress, but with patience and routine, her affectionate, loyal side comes out quickly. This sweet girl does best with active families who can keep up with her pace and give her guidance as she settles in. In return, Layla will bring loyalty, affection, and a little adventure to your life. Layla is house trained and up to date on her vaccinations, making the transition into your home a bit easier.
