Meet Shayla, a petite, 4-and-a-half-year-old Bulldog mix who is one sweet lady. She’s smaller than she looks, weighing in at 37 pounds, and with her short, stout body and adorable underbite, she is as cute as can be. Shayla is shy around strangers, but once she gets to know you, she is a total snuggle bug. She loves playing with cardboard toys filled with treats and adores back and ear scratches. She’d love a laidback home where she can spend her time inside cuddled up on the couch with her people and soaking up lots of love. Shayla is a Shelter Sweetheart, meaning her adoption fee is sponsored, and she comes with extra perks, like free training. To learn more about Shayla and schedule a time to meet her, visit SPCA.org/Adopt.
