You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Paula (a.k.a Layla) is a snuggle bug of a great dane that needs a home where she can lay on the couch and watch movies and go on long walks/play with her people. HISTORY: Unknown PERSONALITY: Layla is very loving and aims to please once she is comfortable around you but it takes a little bit of time and trust building to get there. She matches your energy, if you are having a lazy day, Layla too, is having a lazy day. If you are energetic and going for a run, Layla too, wants to go for a run. She just loves being around people and doing whatever you are doing. She is a lazy dog at heart and loves napping on couches, beds, etc.. She is very skittish and easily spooked by loud noises and sounds, she often scares herself with her tail when she hits things like trash cans, railings, etc. but once she is comfortable which usually doesn’t take to long, she is good. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Running and playing with other dogs who will chase me and snuggling on the couch or bed with my people. MEDICAL ISSUES: De-wormed and treated, caught up on all vaccinations. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: She needs a very patient owner who will love her and take the time to build trust. She is shy at first to new people but after a little time she will warm up, unfortunately, it may be due to her background. Another dog would be great for her because she loves to play but she could also thrive in a home where she is the only dog as sometimes loud noises and sounds can spook her. She is hesitant at first but will pick one person to be her person and will slowly warm up to everyone else. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Has good recall but when she sees something of interest (like a squirrel) it is hard to refocus her if she is off leash she will run and chase it.
