GREAT NEWS…. Laila has found her forever home!! She joined Kevin and Karen Kolba of Crystal Lake, IL. Laila is a rescue from India who has been patiently waiting to find “her people”.

Her prayers have been answered and the wait has been worth it.

Laila immediately took to Karen and Kevin and their 4 year old son. They went for a walk together and hung out getting to know each other. Laila chose to lie by their feet in the living room versus hang out with me in the kitchen… under normal circumstances very unusual. However, she was telling me she chose her people. ??

Thank you to Akanksha for working so hard to rescue Laila and give her this wonderful opportunity to lead a happy and fulfilled life. Unfortunately an opportunity she wouldn’t have had in India.

Most importantly thank you to the Kolbas’s for making Laila’s dreams come true.

You too can save a life….

Pre-Adoption Rescue Post

Laila is a female rescue from New Delhi India.  She resembles a yellow lab and is 1 year old and 40 pounds.

Laila’s rescue story as conveyed by her rescuer Akansha:

One morning,  I found 2 small pups on my doorstep.

Were they dumped by kind soul seeing them suffering and knowing I will help?

Or

Was it act of heartless owner who dumped them to a place where there was chance that I would see them and help?

Or

Did the wonder away from their mother and get lost only to find them at my door in possibly an act of fate and destiny?

Either way, I knew I needed to help them.  Both were very malnourished and covered with ticks,  After a trip to the vet and 10 days of loving care – they both fully recovered.  Today Laila has blossomed into a beautiful young dog who is approximately 1 year old. She is loving, affectionate and very smart.   She has been living in foster care for 6 months prior to coming to the US and is potty trained and leash trained.  For being such a young girl she has a calm temperament.  Her favorite pastime is playing fetch in the yard and spending time with her humans.  Laila  enjoys her naps and chewing bones.

Laila arrived with Manja from New Delhi into Chicago in mid-February to find her forever home.  Unfortunately, in their home country they have little to no chance of finding a loving home as street dogs are generally seen as not “pet worthy”.

Laila is doing wonderful in her foster home in Wadsworth, IL.  She is a very sweet young lady who is very low maintenance.  For such a young dog she has a very calm temperament.  She loves to play with her pals in the yard she has lots of puppy playfulness in her…;)  She is very happy and trusting of humans despite her rough start to life.  She is potty trained and cage trained.  She will bring much joy to her new family.
