About Laila

Meet Laila, a lively 1.5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, ready for a loving forever home! Don’t be fooled by her medium size; this energetic girl is always up for tug-of-war, fetch, long walks, or just chilling on the couch for some belly rubs and cuddles. While Laila is still young and can be a bit nippy and pushy, she’s making great progress with her foster family. She's treat-motivated, knows several commands, and is eager to learn more. Laila is working on her dog reactivity when meeting new canine friends, and with consistent training, we believe she'll improve in that area. She's crate trained and enjoys car rides. Laila loves meeting teens and adults, although she tends to get jumpy with excitement. She’s made significant strides since arriving. While she hasn't interacted much with children or cats, she showed little interest in the few cats she has met. If you’re seeking a companion for your adventures, Laila could be the perfect fit! She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She's currently being fostered in Mount Vernon, WA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
