Story

Meet Lyla Lyla is a spunky, loving, 18 month old Staffordshire terrier. We’d love to find a home for her that can dedicate the time to work with her to feel safe and loved. Lyla’s temperament is incredibly sweet, and she loves to snuggle with you on the couch. She is wary around strangers and will growl and bark. Her favorite activity is chewing on toys, but you have to be careful what you leave out when you leave the house. She is very attached to her people, and doesn’t like to be left alone for too long. Crating will not work for her, but if someone can give her a clean, enclosed space, she’ll do just fine. In-house accidents are few and far between, and she is house-trained. She will generally let you know if she needs to go outside. She would prefer a home with older children. She loves nothing more than to cuddle with you and would be a great companion for a homebody.
