Meet April!
A spirited seven-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix currently living in San Diego, CA, whose expressive black-and-white face and cheeky grin are just the beginning of her charm.
April is a 65-pound bundle of sass, smarts, and snack-loving hilarity! Named after a famously sharp-witted TV character, she lives up to her name with a personality that’s as bold as it is endearing. Her favorite pastimes include lounging under cozy blankets, snacking with enthusiasm, giving side-eye worthy of an Emmy, and obliterating “indestructible” toys like it’s her full-time job. Spoiler alert: nothing is safe from her joyful destruction—but don’t worry, she’s got excellent household manners and sticks to what’s hers!
Fully housetrained, crate-trained, and calm when left alone, April is happiest in a low-key, adults-only home. She’s a fantastic nap buddy and a sweet hostess when friends come to visit—tail wags and charm are always on the menu! April knows a whole list of commands, including sit, down, wait, “find it,” paw, “around,” and “up,” and she enjoys brushing up on her skills with a little positive reinforcement and some quality bonding time.
April is selective with other dogs and not a fit for a home with cats or children. She has a history of reactivity around unfamiliar dogs, and in one incident, after escaping from her yard, she got into a fight with another dog. During the effort to break it up, a neighbor was bitten in the chaos. While April has successfully socialized with a few known dogs through her walker and family, she’s most comfortable as the only pet in the home. April may have strong opinions about unfamiliar dogs and cats, but when it comes to humans, she’s a goofy, affectionate sweetheart just waiting to be your couch companion and snack soulmate!
With the right structure and patience, April can truly thrive. She brings a unique mix of humor, affection, and loyalty to anyone who understands her personality and is ready to support her in a calm, pet-free environment.
We’re also including a month of professional behavioral support to help April settle into her next chapter with ease and reassurance.
