They were absolutely right.

“She was shy at first, but you could tell she was so sweet and excited,” Toney told The Dodo.

Unsurprisingly, little Layla warmed up to the Toneys quickly, and they were approved to bring her home soon after. It’s like she was meant to be there all along; Layla instantly started playing and running around with the other dogs.

“Lady immediately wanted to be near Layla,” Toney said. “Lady was a mom and had just given birth when she was rescued, and so she was really drawn to Layla.”And it seems that Layla is just as drawn to the other animals, too — likely because she had no companions while living out on the street by herself.

But now, she’s taking every opportunity to snuggle up with her new family members.
