Loving dog needs new home
We are in search or a new home for Layla. She is 5 years old black lab mix. We have had get since we was a puppy but I am currently pregnant expecting in January 2026 and she has some minor skin problems that we just haven’t had the funds to get her diagnosed and treated. We would love for her to go to a loving home where she can get the help she needs. She is a very laid back and loving dog. She loves to play with toys especially balls, she’s not very fond of walks, she loves to cuddle and just lay in bed with you. She deserves nothing but the best but with a baby in the way, we just aren't able to give get the attention and help she needs and deserves.
