Looking to Adopt
Hi, I’m Layla. Can I come live with you? Sadly, I was given up because my owner lost his home and had nowhere to live with me. He wanted me to have a safe and loving home, so now I’m patiently waiting for someone to adopt me. I’m 3-years-old and 50 pounds and I know some basic commands. I enjoy playing with toys, so please make sure I have a toy box full of them. If you’re looking for a spirited gal, with a warm disposition, then I’m the gal for you. The dog walkers at the shelter enjoy taking me out and say that I’m very loving and deserve a home where I can be spoiled. If you have a dog with a similar energy level, I think we could be best buds. So, what do you think? Can I be your new family member?
My owner moved away and abandoned me, and I was so scared. Luckily, a neighbor took me in, got me Vaccinated and Spayed and then brought me to the shelter so I could find a new home. My name is Milan and I’m just over a year old. I am a bit shy, and I think that is why no one asks to meet me. I’ve been waiting since early June to find a home. If you adopt me, please give me time to acclimate to my new surroundings. My favorite things are soft toys to cuddle, feathers to chase, and some delicious treats. Once I settle in, I am loving, playful and quite entertaining. Will you be my new best friend?
