About Layla

Miss Layla is such a sweet girl that has the silliest personality, loves to lounge around the house all day and play with her foster fur-siblings. She is friendly with people, kiddos and dogs but shows some excitement with the kitty cats. She gives kisses and will bath other dogs in them as well, it's quite entertaining. Her and Chance are buddies and hang around each other mot days having a great time. We believe she would do good in a home with another dog because she does so well with the rescues here. She takes a little bit to warm up too but once she does, she blossoms into a little social butterfly. She makes the silliest expressions with her floppy ears and little tongue hanging out. She likes to go on walks but is not a fan of the outdoors. She is crate trained for emergencies and at night because she is in a foster home but out during the day and does so well on the furniture. She does snore occasionally and whimpers in her sleep but this girl has got a heart the size of Texas once you give her a chance to show herself to you. She deserves a loving family and we would consider waiving her adoption fee to an approved applicant who would want to adopt her and Chance because they are so bonded. They would definitely thrive together more and a huge secure backyard to run and have fun as they do here when we have outdoor play time. Chance is listed under us as well if you would like to check out his bio. Layla was a stray found in Victoria, Texas. She takes time to warm up in new environments being that she was abandoned and out on the streets 3-6 months that we can confirm. A very sweet elderly couple fed her and provided medical care she needed. We offered to help with Layla while they went out of town and the husband had surgery but once we brought her into our place we could not let her go back to being outside, especially knowing she is on treatment for being strong Heartworm positive. It causes her to be extremely exhausted and she gets overly excited often making her drool and pant. We keep her daily outdoor walks to a minimum, especially during the highest temperatures of the day that causes her to get overly exerted and breathes heavily. So pee pad training indoors has been a success for Layla when we can't take her outside for her own safety and comfort. All her heartworm treatment/testing is covered until she tests negative. Strong Heartworm Positive ------------------------ It means that a dog has been found to be infested with Dirofilaria immitis, the organism that causes heartworm disease in dogs. This is a large worm with a six-to-seven-month life cycle that ultimately ends up living in the heart and pulmonary vessels. In general, with proper treatment and care, the survival rate for dogs with heartworm disease is estimated to be around 70-90%. However, some dogs may have permanent damage to the heart and lungs even after successful treatment. Treatment entails injections, and oftentimes hospitalization is required. Recovery can take up to a couple of months. 'Treatment is expensive because it requires multiple visits to the veterinarian, bloodwork, x-rays, hospitalization and a series of injections,' according to the FDA. Recovery can take up to six months, and there are often lasting effects on the animal's heart. Heartworm preventatives, like Simparica Trio, Trifexis, Tri-Heart Plus, Interceptor Plus, and Iverhart Max for dogs, come in tablets or chewable and in topical treatments, which usually provide protection and are administered monthly. Heartworm disease is a potentially deadly condition caused by parasites that are transmitted via mosquito bites in dogs that can be prevented with prices ranging for dogs at $5-$25+ per month and the cost of treating a dog already diagnosed with heartworm at $400-$1,000+ It so very important to limit outdoor exposure and activities especially in the peak times of year when we have the highest risk of mosquitoes ? Layla will definitely need to be an indoor girl and will do best with a brother or sister to play with. She will take time to decompress because she has trust issues from her past. Decompression has to be taken serious with any furbaby and that can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 years
