“If I were 10 years younger, I would adopt this beauty in a heartbeat,” says Lyla’s foster carer, demonstrating not only the adage that not all heroes wear capes, but a responsible attitude to the commitment of dog ownership as well. An easy-going girl, Lyla has had a scale and polish of her teeth in our care. “She is a delight — a gorgeous dog who just needs a loving home,” her carer says, noting that Lyla knows a range of commands. Like all Greyhounds, she enjoys a brief spot of zoomies before passing out on her back with her legs in the air, known as the “roaching” position in dog yoga circles. Lyla lived has lived with another dog before and has been friendly with those she’s met while with us — we always advise gentle introductions and thoughtful matchmaking that considers temperament and energy levels. She is not suitable for a place with small animals like cats. Lyla has passed her unmuzzling assessment and has her Dogs’ Homes orange collar to indicate that she’s okay to go out in public without wearing a muzzle.
If Lyla isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
