Meet Layla

If you are looking for the perfect dog, look no further than Layla! Layla is a four year old hound / lab mix who is just the sweetest dog you will ever meet. A favorite among the shelter staff where she was previously a resident, she melts hearts wherever she goes. She hasn’t met a person or pup that she doesn’t like! And she will always greet you with a wagging tail when you come home.   Layla loves to cuddle on the couch or in bed. Couch privileges in her forever home would be a dream come true for this gal. She will tuck her head into you and just snore away. Layla also has a goofy, playful side and will run in circles if you say you are “gonna get her butt” or will entertain herself chasing a ball around the yard. Layla is house broken and understands the house rules quickly. Since day one, Layla has been given free roam of her foster home and has had no trouble at all and doesn’t get into anything she shouldn’t.   Layla would be great in a house with or without another dog. She loves other dogs and plays well with them, but she is also great at being solo and entertaining herself. Layla would love a yard to run around in because she does love a good ball to play with and chase.  Layla hasn’t interacted with children, but we have no reason to believe she wouldn’t do anything but love them. She is a calm soul and doesn’t jump up on people. While Layla loves to be by your side, she does well when left home alone. She doesn’t seem to have any separation anxiety and will lay with her foster fur siblings and wait patiently for her humans to come back home for snuggle time.   Layla truly is the most perfect dog and is looking for her perfect forever home. Email [email protected] to meet her today!     (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
