Meet Lyla
Lyla is a sweet little girl who is ready to discover all the joys of family life. While she can be a little unsure of new things at first, her playful personality quickly shines through once she feels comfortable.
This lovely girl enjoys carrying squeaky toys around the yard, exploring with her nose, and spending time with people. She is highly food motivated and eager to learn, making her a great candidate for ongoing positive reinforcement training.
Lyla has had a fairly sheltered lifestyle and would benefit from owners who can gently introduce her to new experiences and help build her confidence. With patience, guidance, and plenty of tasty treats, she is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving Staffy who enjoys affection, enrichment, and quality time with her people, Lyla may be the perfect match.
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
