Notes from 2nd Chance 4 Life

Layla is a very shy, timid dog who will require a patient and understanding adopter. She came from a hoarding situation and has not had the opportunity to experience the stability and consistency of a normal home. As a result, she can become overwhelmed by excessive movement, activity, or commotion in the household. Layla is a very sweet dog, but she is not an immediate-confidence dog. Her adopter must be prepared to give her the time she needs to decompress, adjust, and build trust. She may initially be fearful and reserved, and she should never be rushed or pressured into interactions before she is ready. Layla would do best in a quiet, calm home with another small, friendly dog who can provide companionship and help her feel more secure. A busy household would not be appropriate for her. A securely fenced yard is required for Layla. Layla is a sweet girl who deserves the opportunity to feel safe and learn what a loving home is. She will need an adopter who is willing to respect her boundaries, allow her to progress at her own pace, and give her the time she needs to become the dog she is meant to be.
