My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Laya is full of spunk, energy, and is ready for the adventure of a lifetime with a family of her very own, something she hasn't had for over three years! After being found abandoned on the side of the road, Laya came to Furry Friends in the search of a forever family. While she has been here she has enjoyed working one on one with the staff, making tons of new friends, and learning new skills to help deal with the world around her. Her new home better be ready for tons of fun with her, but we are recommending her go to a home with experienced dog owners where she can be the only pet in the house. She loves people but loves toys and playtime even more. Our staff has spent the entire time she has been here training her to help her understand walking on a leash, how to interact when other animals are around, and how not to yell at the mail man (although she hasn't picked that one up just yet)
Laya has a lot of pent up energy after sitting in her kennel with not much to do. She still has a lot of learning to do, and our staff is ready to help you give Laya the home she has been craving for years. As the years pass her grey hairs have grown in and yet she continues to be the energetic girl we know and love. Fill out the adoption or foster application to talk with a staff member about how you can help our sweet Laya!
