Layla’s Heart Ranch and Rescue
@LaylasheartOR
No kill rescue, rehab and sanctuary with a 100 percent save rate.
🌞It is $5 Friday We are desperately trying to raise $5,000 THIS weekend to give our dogs what they need to survive the brutal heat. $5 Friday’s traditionally are not great fundraising days for us, but we are hoping today will be different. Every single pup deserves a pool to…

ACHTUNG: @NYCACC @NYCHealthCommr @nycHealthy has kill-listed 6-yo Spears [230332] after alteration. He also has kennel cough due to DOH incompetence and indifference. Since arriving at ACC, Spears has been subjected to surgery and sickness. Now they want to kill him.
Rocky’s happy place is his house — and he’s asking for your help to keep it that way. Meet Rocky,our pocket pittie mix with a BIG personality. Rocky came to us after struggling in a home environment because of his unpredictable behavior and bite history. Many would have turned…

Rescue right now is heavy. (Is it ever not?) Every day, our inbox fills with faces we can’t stop thinking about—dogs who just need a safe place, a warm bed, a chance. And every day, far too often, we have to say no. Not because we don’t want to help. Not because we don’t care.…

NYCACC-Ladybug Never Should Have Been Spayed – & Now She’s Gone- This beautiful 6-year-old girl never got the chance she deserved. She was a level one, not on the risk list. A perfect girl who loved everyone, even featured on the ACC FB page. Another example of spay/neuter/kill.…
One of our sweet rescue chickens, Dolly Parton, and her mama soaking in a quiet sunset on the ranch tonight. Moments like these are gentle reminders of what every soul longs for—love, safety, peace, and the freedom to simply exist. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, a chicken, a cow, a…

🎉 Four Years of Rescue. A Lifetime of Love. 🐾💛 On July 5th, we quietly marked four years as an official rescue and sanctuary. Out of respect for the devastating floods in Central Texas, we held off on celebrating. But today, with hearts full of gratitude and hope, we share…

Our hearts are heavy as devastating floods sweep across Central Texas, leaving behind unthinkable loss and heartbreak. We are mourning alongside the families who have lost loved ones — especially the precious children whose lives were taken far too soon. We also grieve for the…

Not only are dogs “still lying in their own filth” at the new $75 million kill pound in Queens, but a yr after the @NYPost first exposed the “horrific conditions” there, whistleblowers are reporting that @NYCACC employees are neglecting & abusing animals… nypost.com/2025/07/06/us-…
🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from Layla’s Heart! 🇺🇸 Today we celebrate freedom, independence, and the beautiful gift of second chances — something we strive to give every single day to the animals who come through our rescue. But today, on this $5 Friday and Independence Day, we…

This is a late post but…we finally did it — we got a catio! 🐾 All of our rescue and feral cats from the old property now have a space of their ownand our hearts are just bursting watching them explore it. Shadow, Willie, Tiger Lily, and Precious — each of them with their own…




Do @NYCACC @NYCHealthCommr @nycHealthy have an ACC cat and dog kill quota? Data and advocates say yes. And @NYCACC @NYCHealthCommr @nycHealthy aren't denying it. thescoopnewyork.com/p/the-kill-quo…
💛 $5 Friday - Welcome Wyatt Stars 💛 Last night, after my son’s baseball tournament (where his team placed 3rd and qualified for state! 🎉⚾️), we found more than just a reason to celebrate—we found a soul in desperate need of saving. As we were leaving, this frail,…



The people who need to see this — @JustinBrannan @CMBobHoldenNYC @JoannAriola32 @Lynn4NYC @LindaBRosenthal @SenJoeAddabbo @DonnaLupardo @SenatorHinchey @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @JumaaneWilliams — will ignore it. NYers and dead dogs are all the same to them.
This $5 Friday is especially close to our hearts. We received the grave markers today for our sweet Rue and our beloved Tyson — two souls we’ve had to say goodbye to in just the past two weeks. The grief has been overwhelming, and we’ve taken time to care for ourselves as we try…


As @NYCACC @NYCHealthCommr @nycHealthy revel over three full decades of discretionary killing — 34K in the last 10 years alone — recent exterminations have been particularly brutal. thescoopnewyork.com/p/acc-nyc-doh-…
We’ve been so quiet lately, and it’s because our hearts have been shattered by unimaginable loss. We’ve needed time to grieve, to care for ourselves, and to tend to our mental health. Losing Tyson was devastating—and somehow, we also had to say goodbye to our sweet Rue girl, one…

We’ve been quiet on here for a while… and it’s because our hearts have been carrying a weight too heavy to speak about until now. Our beloved Tyson — our very first rescue, our family member, our brave, beautiful boy — passed away peacefully in his sleep at 13 years old. There…




$5 FRIDAY — WE NEED YOUR HELP 💔 Good morning community, It is $5 Friday and we need your help! It’s getting hotter and hotter every day, and right now we are facing a real crisis. So far, we’ve only received donations for TWO AC units — but we urgently need more! It is…

Meet Dolly—our fluffy-feathered diva with a flair for performance and a hairstyle that puts 80s rock bands to shame. Just like her namesake, she’s got big hair, a big heart, and an even bigger personality. She struts around the coop like it’s a stage, clucking to her fans and…
