About Layla (Boxer) in Burnsville

Layla is waiting for you at Across America Boxer Rescue in Burnsville, MN 55337. 3/16/26 UPDATE...Layla was returned to the rescue due to her high prey drive. She arrived at her Illinois foster home on Saturday and she is settling in OK. Foster mom will work on desensitizing her to small animals. Layla is completely vetting, crate trained, housebroken and is good with other dogs her size and larger. We will update with more information soon as we get to know her a little better and will post updated pics as we get them. 4/17 UPDATE FROM LAYLA'S FOSTER MOM: Layla's Foster mom here! She has been with us for just over a month and is doing great! While she had to leave her previous home due to some possible prey-drive issues with a smaller dog, it hasn't been anything that we could not work on. She is a puppy (11+ months) still, and puppies can be curious. But with some direction and basic training, she is learning that while small animals are super interesting and exciting, they are not to be chased. As with any young dog, she will need continued work until she fully understands this. Outside of that, this girl is a DREAM! She crates up PERECTLY, even taking her meals in her crate since we have another foster (Lenny) and our resident Boxer all eating at the same time. This allows her to eat in comfort without the excitement that can come from close quarters eating. She gets along famously with Lenny and our Brewer. Actually, she and Lenny are the bestest of buds - if a home was looking to adopt a pair, these 2 would be a shoe in! She loves her post walk zoomies and wrestling matches with Lenny! She walks great on leash and this is where we continue to work on her Leave It for small animals/distractions. She loves her morning and afternoon walks to the park. She does not seem to be phased at all by the comings and goings of people and cars on our walks. When I am working in the yard, she enjoys sitting on our fenced-in deck to watch the birds.
