Update: Since Layla is truly not interested in any humans, but is fine living among us and the other dogs we've chosen to make her a Joyful Sanctuary pet. Layla is good with the other dogs and we will love her until it is her time to leave this earth and let her go lovingly. Layla was born around August 1, 2020 and weighs too much at about 45 pounds. Joyful received a message asking for help in the Rochester area with a home that had 30 dogs. The humans started taking in dogs that no one wanted, and after a few years, they became overwhelmed and asked for help. Layla has been with us for over a year and will be an excellent dog for that special person who understands her. Layla has been living with other dogs and is ok, but she can be very territorial with her food. Layla would like a home with no children. She adores her human and will be at your side day and night, watching your every move. She is not the type of dog that will want to go shopping or go to the park. She's a homebody who is content to rule the roost from the couch. Layla is weary of strangers, so a home with few visitors would be ideal. We understand the right home for Layla is going to be a tricky thing to find, but we know that home and that special person is out there! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $___N/A. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a "complete" pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY. Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption. Can't Adopt Me? SPONSOR ME Look for the Link "Special Instructions to Seller" if you want to note a particular pet
