About April Bandera

Meet April! She's an 8-month-old sweetheart weighing about 32 lbs. April is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and gentle affection. We believe she may be a pit/lab mix, but what truly stands out is her loving, tender personality. April is incredibly sweet-natured with a soft, submissive personality. She lives with larger dogs and does great with them, happy to follow their lead and be part of the pack. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but give her a little time and you'll see her blossom. Once she feels safe, she loves you with her whole wiggly body, offering the kind of full-body tail wags that make your heart melt! Her favorite things include toys (especially soft ones she can lie with), squeaky toys (her absolute favorite), cozy naps after playtime, and gentle snuggles once she knows you. Like any puppy, her days are a happy rhythm of play, nap, repeat, and she brings so much joy wherever she goes.

Ideal Home

April is looking for a family ready to guide her as she grows. She will thrive with structure, patience, and positive training.

Ongoing Health

No specific health issues are mentioned in the description.

Training & Support

April is at the perfect age to build a strong bond. We do require adopters to commit to crate training, which helps set her up for success with potty training and confidence.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • The adoption fee is $1,000.00 and includes all vetting, transport, and a microchip.
  • An $87 surcharge applies due to rising transportation costs.

Transporation

April is currently fostered in Ridgefield Park, NJ, just outside NYC. We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue run USDA certified transport system. This includes drop off locations in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI and Canada. Canadian adopters can pick up in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY or Brattleboro, VT. Texas adopters must pick up from the Houston area.
