As animal lovers, we want to see every pet get the proper care and attention they deserve. So, we teamed up with Dallas Animal Services to promote an adoptable dog each week. We'll spotlight our furry friend with photos, videos, and information about each one. Please spread the word so we can help find these four-legged family members fur-ever homes.
This week's sweet girl is three-year-old April, a 40-lb. mixed breed who is cuddly, good with other dogs, and loves the sunshine! April is already housebroken, crate-trained and does well with young children.
April was extremely timid when she first arrived at the shelter, but after living with a caring foster family, she is now a happy, healthy girl! She enjoys relaxing on the couch and playing dress-up!

According to her foster mom, April says:
- I am the queen of outdoor potty breaks!
- I like sleeping in my crate at night and also hang out in there when the hoomans leave the house.
- I am good with other doggos. I like to wrestle and play rough so I would definitely do best in an active home where I can burn off some of my energy, but I also am a well-mannered gal who will do my best to match another dog's energy. What can I say? I just think everyone should want to play and zoomies are THE BEST!
- When it comes to kids, I’m your gal! My best friend is a toddler who comes to visit me once in a while. I’m patient and gentle with kids but as always, slow introductions are recommended so we can get to know each other properly.
- I’m a couch potato. When I’m not playing, I loooove lounging on the couch next to my foster family and fur-siblings. I’ll even let you pick the movie if you share your popcorn!
- My foster mom dresses me up in outfits, and I don’t complain. A lady this fabulous needs an outfit to match, after all!
- I am spayed, up-to-date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped.
- Good on a leash but I do have a tendency to pull so I can smell all the yummy things. I’m not opposed to a harness. After all, that can count as an outfit, right? Ohhhh, maybe it can be rhinestoned!
- I can sometimes be slow to warm up in new situations. I am particularly hesitant of men at first but when I tell you that my foster dad is now my very best friend, I mean it! It took me a little bit to warm up but now him and I cuddle every single night. My foster mom thinks I might even like him more now!
- I’m not a big fan of toys or treats, but my absolute favorite thing lying in the grass feeling warm sunshine on my soft, beautiful chocolate coat.
