Backstreet Boy Nick Carter can calm down now…his mom “didn’t” dump his dog at the animal shelter. Right. Well, she claims the whole ‘Nick’s mom dumped his dog Layla at a shelter’ story is “baloney”!
As we all know, Nick’s relationship with his mother, Jane, was already on fragile ground, but after Nick asked her to baby-sit for his pit bull mix Layla, and she took him to a North Tampa animal shelter, without Nick’s knowledge, we can only assume she’s in the doghouse!
Apparently, Nick had asked his mother to baby-sit Layla, while we got ready for his upcoming reunion tour with the Backstreet Boys. Nick was even paying her for the dog’s upkeep, but Jane apparently had no interest in taking care of the dog.
Ranelle Black, who originally rescued Layla from an L.A. County animal shelter and let Nick adopt the pup in March 2006, said she received a call from the Florida shelter on Monday, after volunteers identified Layla through her microchip implant.

“I called Nick and he had no idea that his mother had dumped Layla. He was very choked up,” said Black. She added that Nick had spent more than $7,000 to train the pup!
Nick’s publicist, Juliette Harris said, “Nick is devastated and frustrated, and is doing everything he can to get Layla safely back.”
Well, Mommy says she didn’t drop Layla at the pound, though her excuse is far from believable! Our friends at TMZ scoop: Jane Carter called the MJ Morning Show to slam our story from Wednesday as “baloney,” claiming that she gave Layla, a pit bull mix, to a “friend of her husband” to keep at his kennel. Then, she says, the dog escaped from the kennel, though this kennel-owner “friend” apparently didn’t notice the dog was gone until animal services picked it up and took it to the shelter in Hernando County.
Mama Carter also made some excuse about not having a phone and the dog not being well trained, even though we’re told that Nick spent $7,000 to train Layla.
