What Shayla Is Like
Highly social and outgoing...she loves meeting new people and makes friends fast
Extremely food motivated, which makes training a joy
Playful and energetic with a big personality
Affectionate and people-oriented... she wants to be near her person
Smart and eager... she picks up on things quickly when given clear guidance
Shayla is a dog who thrives with structure, predictability, and an experienced handler who
understands dog body language. She is not a beginner dog and that's okay. The right home for
her will be someone who sees that as a fun challenge.
Adult-only home with no other pets
An experienced dog owner who is comfortable with ongoing behavior work
Consistent daily routine... predictability is how Shayla feels safe
An outlet for her energy and her love of using her mouth... sport, enrichment, structured
play
Someone committed to continued training and relationship building
Shayla does resource guard around food, and this is something her adopter will need to
understand and manage thoughtfully. This doesn't mean she is dangerous, it means she needs
clear, respectful boundaries around her food space, and an owner who knows how to reinforce
those boundaries positively and consistently. With the right guidance, this is a very workable
behavior.
If you are an experienced dog owner looking for a dog with depth, drive, and a heart full of
love... Shayla might be exactly who you've been waiting for.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
