My name is Layla!

Meet Layla !!
This sweet easy going girl has had a rough life so far. She’s ready to share her love with someone who will treat her right and return that love.
She was almost starved to death and was still the sweetest girl. She wants to soak up all the love and attention she can get now that she’s safe.
Layla is an approx 1 year old female boxer/Pitbull Type mix. She weighs 51 pounds now and still needs to gain a few more pounds back.
She is already vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions.
**Waiting on better pics from her foster family but you can see how much better she’s looking already***
Layla has a fairly low energy level. She is content to lay around with a chew bone and just hang out with her people. She may become more energetic as she settles in but for now she’s very laid back.
She is the sweetest dog and absolutely loves human attention. She’s done really good with her basic training. She jumps up on you but not in a knock you over kind of way, more in a she wants a hug way.
She has done great with potty trained and hasn’t had any accidents while adjusting to her foster home. She does great on car rides. She is also crate trained. She does okay on a leash but still pulls a bit a times. She could use additional work on that.
Layla has a motherly instinct with other dogs and kids. When there’s rough play she initially tries to intervene and stop it. She does adjust to kids playing with a little time in her new home to understand everything. She’s fostered with several other dogs but would do best with calm dogs that aren’t overly hyper or rough house a lot. She would also be fine without other dogs. She’s done great with respectful kids that can give her some time to adjust. She has not met any cats so we aren’t sure how she would do.
She was starved almost to death and unfortunately now has trouble sharing food, bones, and toys with other dogs. She’s been fine sharing things with humans. We suspect she may have had to fight for what little food she could get. Her possessiveness over food items may fade or it may not. It’s best to feed her separately and give her bones etc in a separate space like her crate.
Overall this girl is a big sweet heart just looking for someone to love her as much as she loves them.
