About Layla
Layla is the dearest soul. She is a gentle spirited dog who tends to be initially quite submissive to other dogs, but gains confidence when they are friendly to her. She loves to be patted, initially getting so excited that she would jump up. Now she has learned to sit nicely for a big old pat and scratch session which is her favorite thing. She is a devoted kind of dog, and has really enjoyed going out around the place with her foster carer off lead. She strides around the place in a quite athletic way, but is not inclined to wander far. She is just so grateful to have someone looking after her and loving her. Layla would make a wonderful companion for a mature person as she loves security and would love to have a person all to herself.
Layla came to us from a remote community in dog dreaming country in Central Australia. She was surrendered to the visiting vets with her three puppies, all in very poor condition. She immediately adopted another puppy also surrendered, and this little group soon after came into care. There was no option but to put her in a group of other dogs in Elliott. She coped amazingly, making friends with the other dogs while still looking out for the puppies. Since then she has taken another puppy under her wing as well. What a truly kind dog she is. The local indigenous folk say that dogs from this area can "sing" themselves, and we think Layla has sung herself and the pups, because they have recovered in record time and all just look wonderful. We are so proud of the great job she has done with her own pups and her two adoptees.
Our rescue and rehabilitation work happens in Central Australia, but because of the scarcity of adopters locally, our re-homing operation is in South Australia. Layla's adoption fee includes crate hire, courier transport by road from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs, and a direct flight from Alice Springs to Adelaide. Layla is currently in foster care in Elliott NT.
