We do not know exactly how Kayla’s story began, but we do know she once had a family, and she never stopped loving people. She knows how to sit, she comes when called, and she lives for human affection. When you approach her kennel, she presses her whole body against the bars, silently begging for a touch, a scratch, a little reminder that she still matters. Belly rubs are her favorite, and if you stop too soon, she will gently nudge you with her paw, asking for just a little more love. But time is not on Kayla’s side. She is nine years old, and dogs like her, older and misunderstood because of their breed, are too often overlooked. Some assume the worst without ever giving her a chance. If only they knew, Kayla is pure tenderness, pure loyalty, pure heart. She does not ask for much. A warm couch, a kind hand, a quiet home where she can finally exhale and know she is safe, loved, and home for good. After so long alone, she would prefer being your one and only, without the chaos of young, bouncy dogs. Kayla’s heart is still wide open. Are you the one who will finally give her the happy ending she has been waiting for?
