About April Bandera

April is an 8-month-old sweetheart weighing about 32 lbs, a wonderful mix of playful puppy energy and gentle affection. While we believe she may be a pit/lab mix, her truly outstanding qualities are her loving and tender personality. April is incredibly sweet-natured with a soft, submissive demeanor. She lives harmoniously with larger dogs, happily following their lead and being part of the pack. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with a little time, she blossoms into a dog who loves with her whole wiggly body, offering full-body tail wags that will melt your heart. Her favorite things include soft toys, squeaky toys, cozy naps, and gentle snuggles once she knows you. Like any puppy, her days are a happy rhythm of play, nap, and repeat, bringing immense joy wherever she goes.

Ideal Home

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

Ongoing Health

April is a healthy puppy.

Training & Support

April is at the perfect age to build a strong bond. We 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 with free lifetime registration.
  • An $87 surcharge applies due to rising transportation costs.

Transporation

April is currently fostered in Ridgefield Park, NJ. We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue-run USDA certified transport system. This service ensures every pet travels safely and comfortably with 24/7 care. Drop-off locations are available in WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT, TN, KY, WI, MN, IL, WI, and Canada (pick-up locations in Bellingham, WA, Buffalo, NY, or Brattleboro, VT for Canadian adopters). You can track their journey in real-time and receive photo updates. Texas adopters must pick up from the Houston area.
