Herbie
Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years
Five-year-old Lyla is a sensitive, medium-sized beauty who is looking for a devoted companion to offer her the security and calm she craves. While she is currently navigating some big emotions, at her core, she is a gentle and deeply affectionate dog who bonds intensely once she feels safe. Lyla is currently located on the Isle of Wight, but for the right home, we can arrange transport to the mainland. Lyla’s favorite thing is building a deep, loyal connection with her trusted circle. She loves close cuddles, nesting, and calm companionship. In the home, she is a dream in many ways—she is fully house-trained and can be left for over five hours without issue. She also walks well on a lead and currently enjoys going out with a professional dog walker. A clever girl, she finds joy in simple pleasures like exploring a garden or engaging in treat-based games. Because Lyla is sensitive by nature and struggles with change, she is looking for a very specific, predictable, and low-traffic environment. She is currently on anti-anxiety medication to help her manage her nerves, and she will need a patient family who understands that she views the world with a bit of caution. Lyla has a history of resource guarding, particularly with toys and occasionally with her favorite people. Because of this, she must live in an adult-only home or one with dog-savvy teenagers (10+) who can respect her boundaries and follow a structured management plan. While she currently lives with other dogs, she is often nervous when approached by them and would likely thrive best as the only pet or with a very calm, indifferent companion after very careful introductions.
