lyla

There’s a little extra love in the air this fall, and her name is Lyla! This 45-pound coonhound mix is about 3 years old and has been waiting for a home since April. She was found as a stray in West Virginia, and now that she’s settling into foster life in Pittsburgh, we’re hoping her forever family is close by.Lyla is sweet, affectionate, and always up for a good sniff. She loves giving kisses, getting her ears rubbed, and hanging out with her people. She’ll happily try any treat you offer, takes it gently from your hand, and likes to keep a few favorite bones in her chewing rotation.She gets along beautifully with her 2-year-old foster brother and lets out a bark when she’s ready for him to join her for a romp. She respects his boundaries during play and is generally quiet around the house. Once she’s sniffed her way around the yard, she’s happy to settle by the window and keep tabs on the neighborhood.Like any hound with a nose for adventure, Lyla is still working on loose-leash walking and basic commands. An interesting scent can get her full attention in a hurry! She’s also figured out that kitchen counters sometimes hold snacks, so her family will want to keep food out of reach.After a little adventure, Lyla is all about the cozy life. A few treats help her settle into her crate, where she rests peacefully for naps and overnight. Give her a soft blanket and a spot on the couch, and you might find all 45 pounds of her curled into the tiniest little ball. Lyla is housebroken, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and vet care. She reportedly did well when tested with cats and children.Lyla will be available for adoption on or after November 8. If your home has room for a curious nose and a big heart, we’d love for you to meet her! Across Pittsburgh · Springdale, PA 15144 · KL #16182
