Raised from birth as a fighting dog, Kayla was abandoned by her original owner when she contracted parvo and was left for dead at the Cutten Animal Health Center. Luckily, Kayla was able to be rehabilitated and put into foster care. An ad was taken out in the local newspaper where her current owners would find her. It was love at first sight upon meeting her, and she was brought home for the next twelve years. Now thirteen, Kayla has lived a happy life with her family and best boy Tallon.
Armed with an adorable pitbull smile, it is easy to tell when she is happy. She is also quite the prankster and will hide behind bushes and lunge at unsuspecting friends.
