About April Bandera

Meet April! This 8-month-old sweetheart weighs about 32 lbs and is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and gentle affection. While we think she might be a pit/lab mix, her most outstanding quality is her loving and tender personality. April is incredibly sweet-natured with a soft, submissive demeanor. She lives with larger dogs and does great with them, happily following their lead. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but with a little time, she blossoms into a deeply loving companion with full-body tail wags that will melt your heart! Her favorite things include soft toys, squeaky toys, cozy naps, and gentle snuggles once she feels comfortable. April is still young and looking for a family ready to guide her with structure, patience, and positive training. She's at the perfect age to build a strong bond.

Ideal Home

April would thrive in a home that can offer her structure, patience, and positive training. We do require adopters to commit to crate training, which will help her with potty training and building confidence.

Ongoing Health

April has no known health conditions.

Training & Support

April is still a puppy and would benefit from continued positive training to build confidence and reinforce good habits. Crate training is a requirement for her adoption.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • The adoption fee is $1,000.00.
  • 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. Transport drop-off locations include 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.
