My story

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

Hey there, I'm Leyla!

I'm a 7-year-old Rottweiler mix weighing around 50 pounds, and I've got a big heart full of love to share. I'm the kind of gal who's always excited to greet you with a wagging tail and warm nuzzle. I'm friendly and curious, always up for exploring new places and enjoying a bit of adventure with you.

While I love to explore, I'm also the perfect companion for a cozy cuddle session. I'm sweet, mellow, and love spending quiet evenings by your side. And don't let my age fool you-I'm still full of life and ready to make every moment with you count. I'm housetrained, good with other dogs, and based on my easygoing nature, I'd likely do well with cats too!

If you're looking for a loyal friend who's equal parts cuddle buddy and adventure partner, I'm your girl. Adopt me, and let's create some unforgettable memories together!
