Myla

She is a happy-go-lucky girl who is in need of a per­ma­nent home. She is 5 years old, but you would think she is still a puppy with all the energy and play­ful­ness she maintains.

Myla loves other dogs. She also loves to swim and would enjoy spend­ing a lot of time at the beach or in a back­yard pool. If you are in need of a great ener­getic com­pan­ion to exer­cise with, Myla is the girl for you.
