Layla’s story isn’t an easy one—but she deserves a chance to have a happy ending.

Like her brother Chase, Layla came to us terrified of people. What many would call “feral.” She didn’t understand human kindness—but she’s always loved other dogs.

Now in her second foster home, Layla has made progress… just not enough. She has learned to trust her foster parents and absolutely adores her dog siblings. But outside of that small circle, the world is still a very scary place.

New people? Terrifying.

New environments? Overwhelming.

We’ve been trying everything—slow introductions, calm walks in quiet parks, bringing new people into the home. And while Layla can warm up to someone over time, if they’re not a consistent part of her daily life, that trust disappears just as quickly as it came.

Today, Layla was evaluated at Dog Days by Missy with Nerdy K9. After seeing where she’s at, the recommendation is clear: Layla needs an intensive two-week stay-and-train program.

This could be the turning point for her.

But it comes at a cost—nearly $1,700 for boarding and training.

We don’t ask lightly. But dogs like Layla don’t get unlimited chances. Without real progress, dogs struggling this deeply can face behavioral euthanasia. That’s the reality.

We are not ready to give up on her—and we don’t think you are either.

If you can donate, share, or support in any way, you are helping give Layla the opportunity to learn that the world isn’t so scary… and that people can be safe.

Let’s give her the chance she deserves. 🖤
