My name is Layla!

Layla is about 8 years old as of January 2, 2024 and weighs around 52 pounds.  So, she is not a real big girl and has a tall, lean build. She has lived with her previous owner for a few years , but a new baby came along and it was too much for Layla. This is her previous story of her start on life.....She came to us from the country of Oman (west of Saudi Arabia) where they have no Animal Controls or government help for homeless dogs.  Their solution is to have the police shoot them when a resident calls and complains.  They do not do it humanely either. This girl lived with a pack of 8 dogs and 1 cat on the streets.  She was rescued by a group called Omani Paws and fostered until she could come to the United States.  This girl absolutely loves people despite the situation she came from.  She loves hugs and kisses and to just be near her human.  She gets along great with the dogs she came with and was in a foster home with other dogs and lived with a cat on the streets.  However, it does take a bit of time for her to warm up to new dogs. We think a home where she can be the only dog  would be best until she is accustomed to her new environment. She will also probably do better in a quieter environment like a home rather than a busy rescue.  She is crate and house trained and walks on a leash. She is a doll baby and would make a wonderful companion, calm companion. Layla knows a lot of commands such as sit, lay, speak, paw, place, stop, crawl, rollover, post up, spin, etc. We can't say enough how precious her temperament is. Layla is spayed, heartworm negative and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention.
