Layla 💗

Pending adoption 💗

Layla is a beautiful 3-year-old purebred Standard Poodle who truly embodies everything people love about the breed and then some.

Layla weighs 49.8 lbs. She is not a big girl by any means—leggy, yes, but that is natural for a poodle. She is naturally lean, petite, and beautifully built 💕

She is wonderful with other dogs and cats alike, but her true joy comes from her humans. Layla is happiest when your eyes and hands are on her 😊 She has the most contagious smile, and it’s nearly impossible not to feel that same joy radiating back at you when she’s around. She truly is all that you love about the poodle breed—loyal, confident, intelligent, sweet, doting, caring, attentive, and the absolute best friend you could ever ask for. I could go on for days about how incredible she is and how blessed you will be to have her join you in life.

Layla is wonderful in the home and has impeccable house manners. She is crate trained and sleeps peacefully in her crate all night long. She knows her crate well and will walk right in the moment it’s opened for her. That said, she is very adaptable and could easily transition to sleeping on a bed beside you if that’s what you prefer—because who wouldn’t want to be closer to the ones they love?

She is not a barker, but she will alert you if she feels something unfamiliar is worth investigating. She listens beautifully, allows her person to lead in any situation, and has incredible eye contact. At times it truly feels like she’s reading your thoughts before you even say a word.

Layla is wonderful at the groomer, and while she doesn’t currently have a traditional poodle cut, once her coat is fully grown back she will be just as stunning as ever. She travels exceptionally well and does great on road trips of any length.

She knows sit, stay, come, and “off.” Layla does love to give hugs—very gently and with so much emotion and love. While we don’t encourage jumping, her hugs are done so sweetly that we allow them on occasion, while also making sure she understands “off” for anyone who may not appreciate a loving poodle embrace.

Layla came to us after her prior owner sadly passed away. Without immediate living family or children, a kind neighbor reached out to us. She already had three dogs of her own but knew Layla deserved to be somewhere safe and loving rather than placed in a cold shelter. Her goal was simple—to see Layla return to a home where she would be loved the way she always had been.

Adoption fee: $2,000

This includes her spay (she was in heat, and while there were no physical signs, thankfully, we still incurred an in heat increase cost due to her spay taking longer under anesthesia,) dental cleaning and polish (no extractions were needed, nor were there any missing teeth. Her overall dental health is great ❤️,) hair plucking of both ears (ears were in great health,) current yearly vaccines, microchip and registration, veterinary exam, and the care, grooming, and training she has received while in our care.
