LAYLA *ARRIVING 11/21* - JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / BEAGLE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Beagle / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Layla is a gentle, loving little girl with a heart full of affection. Friendly with everyone she meets, she loves being held, enjoys belly rubs, and will happily roll over to show her tummy—sometimes with a tiny excited “happy pee” because she just can’t contain her joy! Despite a hard start to life, Layla’s heart is pure gold. She was abandoned, starving, and pregnant, yet she still chose love. After arriving to safety, Layla not only cared for her own puppies, but lovingly took in three newborn orphan babies, nursing and raising them as if they were her own until they were weaned. Her nurturing, gentle spirit shines through everything she does. Layla enjoys playing with other small dogs, cuddling with her humans, and being part of family life. She is leash trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, and is eager to please. She won’t potty in her kennel and will cry or bark to let you know she needs to go out—she just wants to keep her space clean. She’s a sweet, joyful, and playful little companion who wants nothing more than to be loved, held, and included. Layla would thrive in a home with someone who will shower her with affection, enjoy her cuddles, and take her on little walks to explore the world with confidence. Layla is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 11/21/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
