About Layla

Layla is about 2 years old and is a medium-sized cattle dog mix. She’s a gentle soul who’s still learning what it means to be in a loving home. Shy but sweet, she has a playful side and enjoys the company of other dogs. Layla was rescued from a hoarding situation in Oklahoma, where she lived with many siblings. While she is affectionate, you might notice her herding instinct kick in during playtime; she can be called off easily, but it’s something to keep in mind. Her siblings have all transitioned well to life in safe, caring environments, and she’s ready to do the same. If you’re looking for a companion who’s eager to experience the joys of home life, Layla might be the perfect match. Apply to meet her at our location in Windsor, CO!
