Layla

Type: Rottweiler
Age: 3 (23 dog years)
  • Also answers to: Laylies, Laylie Baileies, Rayra (I live in Japan, I can't help but call her that.)
  • Best trick: Spin
  • Quirkiest habit: She ALWAYS has to climb in between Mom and Dad, whether it's in bed or when we're just standing next to one another. If there is no room, she'll make room.
  • Why I chose this dog: The kennel had her hidden in the back so not just anyone could adopt her. They actually recommended her to us.
  • Is not a fan of: Spray bottles, moving chairs, anything that's being carried toward her that is bigger than her.

More about Layla

My husband and I were looking to adopt a dog for a couple months and would stop in at the Air Force-run kennel here in Okinawa, Japan every other weekend. As we were leaving one day, we passed a kennel with an emaciated Rottweiler in it. It turns out she was almost starved to death by her previous owners. They left her in her crate, full of feces and urine outside the kennel gate. When she was found, all her ribs and hip bones were visible. Her fingernails were falling off and she weighed about 55 pounds when she was 15 months old! Thankfully the kennel took good care of her and she put on the proper weight in no time. Two weeks later, we adopted her.

It's now almost 2 years later and we can't imagine everyday life without her. She is such a ham. We feel so lucky to have found her.
