About April
April is a 3-year-old, 8-pound Silky Terrier with a bold personality packed into a small, tri-colored frame. True to her breed, sheâs smart, affectionate, and playful, with an independent streak that can veer into stubbornness. Sheâs alert to her environment and thrives on keeping busy. Her spirit is much bigger than her size: sheâs curious, a natural adventurer, and happiest when sheâs got something to huntâeven if itâs just a toy. April enjoys the company of people and will make herself known to visitors, actively seeking out attention and lapping up affection. Sheâs happiest as an only pet or with another small, non-lap-possessive dog. She holds her own with other dogs and isnât shy about standing her ground, even with bigger ones. April isnât fully house trained yetâshe needs someone willing to work with her on regular outdoor potty breaks and routine. Sheâll use potty pads and learns the ropes if kept on a schedule. April lives with dry eye (KCS) and requires eye drops twice daily for life; her medication runs about $55 every six weeks, and one bottle will come with her. An all-adult home with a securely fenced (not invisible or temporary) yard is absolutely requiredâno exceptions. April thrives with structure and attention, and sheâs ready for someone who wants an engaging, loving lap dog who doesnât act like a pushover. Her birthday is May 5, making her a reliable and playful Taurus. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
