Lyla, golden retriever
Lyla is a female golden retriever dog currently residing at Dog Gone Seattle.
Lyla plays well with others, and she loves other dogs, cats and kids. She's already vaccinated and spayed. Good news: She is already house-trained.
Notes from Lyla's caretakers:
Lyla Jane is a 12.5 year old purebred Golden Retriever whose owner died and the owner's caretaker took her in but can't care for her. Lyla is currently in good health and hopefully has a few good years left and we'd like to find her a loving family for her golden years. She has arthritis in her back legs so the less stairs, the better. Lyla likes chew toys but doesn't chew on anything else. She will do best in a home with no big, high energy dogs or annoying puppies.

He already has had all of his shots, and he's neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.
From Casper's current caretaker:
Casper loves people and kids and would be a great companion for an active family. Given his breeds, he’s pretty high energy and will thrive in a home that provides him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After getting his energy out, Casper loves snuggling up on the couch with his foster mom.

From Hailey's current caretaker:

Hailey should not be considered for a home with young very children. She will also need a secure, fenced yard.
