About Layla

Layla is a young female dog, found as a stray in Texas, just hours away from her fate. She's a mix of Border Collie and likely a cattle dog, standing at a perfect medium height and weighing about 30 lbs. While she does get along with some dogs, she is quite selective and would thrive as the only dog in a household. Layla is active and enjoys outdoor activities, making her an excellent jogging companion. She embraces her crate time, seeking it out when she needs to unwind. A fetch enthusiast, she delights in playtime, especially if ice cubes are involved—they're her ultimate treat! Layla’s potty training has room for growth, particularly when there are other dogs around, but she shines with children and people. Cats don’t faze her; she simply ignores them. If you’re looking for a soul-dog connection, Layla might be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
