Layla is a 10-year-old Australian Cattle Dog in Mesa, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Sepsis, Dog Bite Wound.

Layla was found in an alleyway eating trash by my granddaughter while she was driving home from house sitting. My granddaughter took her to the vet right away to see if she was chipped and did all the necessary things needed to find her owner but, no luck. Layla became a great addition to our family 4 years ago. Even Buddy, our chihuahua loves her so much and he doesn't like many other dogs.

Layla loves going on walks anywhere and everywhere. She also loves to lay in the sun and roll in the grass in our backyard. When taking naps she loves to snuggle with our cats and dog buddy. Layla is the sweetest girl I have ever met and can make friends with just about everyone. She is a kind, gentle dog. That's why our cats are ok with her. When guests visit she always goes to them to say hi.

Layla is very sweet but she is definitely a character. She loves getting her pets. Whenever I am reading on the couch she will come up and bump my hand for a pet. We have many comfy dog beds at the house but, Layla thinks they are good pillows for her head. In the summer she loves to jump in sprinklers but hates the pool. She is always there to comfort someone in distress with a snuggle.

When I was walking my pups in my neighborhood we got attacked by a Rottweiler that escaped from his home when the owner was doing laundry. He got Layla right on the neck. She is in the Arizona veterinary emergency & critical care center suffering from that wound and now she has fluids in her heart and abdomen. We want her to recover and come home.

I am currently retired so I get a set income now. I have been dealing with heart issues meaning a lot of Dr. visits. I even fainted visiting with Layla one day the vet sent me to hospital. Layla use to help with my stress.I MISS HER and want to get her the care she deserves.
