About Layla

Meet Layla! This adorable lab mix is about 1.5 years old and came to us after her owner passed away, alongside a few other dogs. Understandably, she's a bit shy and has withdrawn since her arrival, but with patience and some tasty treats, she's starting to come out of her shell. Layla is quite sweet and tends to be submissive, particularly around other dogs, so she needs slow, proper introductions. On the smaller side, she's highly food motivated and truly beginning to flourish in our care. Layla is looking for a compassionate adopter who can help her build confidence and thrive in a loving environment. We promised Layla that the remainder of her life would be filled with joy. Could that new beginning be with you? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
