About Layla

Layla is an 11-year-old Silky Terrier/Yorkshire mix, weighing about 10 lbs. She has an energetic spirit and enjoys playing with squeaky toys, often playfully nipping at her person's hands. While she gets along with some dogs, she prefers a home without other pets, especially cats, and she needs a calm environment. Since she's a senior dog, children in her future home must be at least 12 years old. Currently, Layla is on a renal care diet, which has significantly improved her kidney values. This diet requires careful management; she’ll need annual blood work and biannual kidney checks. Her adopter should ensure she drinks plenty of fluids, as she can have occasional accidents indoors from her increased water intake. Layla would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time, as she enjoys companionship. If you're ready to give Layla the loving forever home she deserves, please reach out today!
