Meet Ila (pronounced eye-lah), a sweet girl who has made her way from a shelter in Virginia. She's looking for a forever home where she can be by your side. While eventually she can adapt to being kenneled, Ila prefers to stay close to her humans at all times. Ila thrives with other dogs and enjoys their company, but she can be protective over her food and belongings. For this reason, a home without other dogs or one with experienced owners would be ideal to help her feel secure. Currently, Ila is mostly housebroken, but she does need a consistent schedule to avoid accidents. She hasn't been tested with cats or small animals, so her behavior around them remains unknown. If you’re ready to provide a loving home for this delightful girl, please submit an application to meet her. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
