About Layla D

Meet Layla D, your ultimate toy-loving snuggle expert. This sweet girl has found the perfect balance between playtime and naptime. She adores carrying around her toys for some fun, but when it’s time to wind down, she’ll curl up beside you for a cozy nap. At night, you can count on her to be the perfect bedtime companion, sleeping soundly next to you. When out on walks, Layla gets excited by wildlife and will bark and pull on the leash when she spots anything interesting—squirrels, turkeys, cats, or dogs. To help her with this, she’d thrive with an adopter who can guide her and work on leash training. She also has a quirky knack for scratching at couches or comforters when playful, but she’s easy to redirect to her toys. If you’re in search of a cuddly companion who enjoys playtime and loves to snuggle, Layla D could be the one for you! Just keep in mind she’s currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease, so her activity must be limited during recovery. But don't worry—Ruff Start Rescue will cover the full cost of her treatment. Ready to welcome Layla into your home?
