The rescue got her into see a vet immediately and surgery was performed to remove the stone and spayed her at the same time. She got better and has transformed into a very energetic and affectionate companion. Although she is still skittish and runs away from her foster mom, you can tell that she wants to trust. Her tail is always wagging.<br/><br/>April will need leash training as she has not had any experience walking with one.<br/><br/>Her housetraining needs on going support.<br/><br/>She would do best in a home with a yard.<br/><br/>She has been introduced to a few dogs and is quite friendly towards them.<br/><br/>She is extremely interested in the resident cat, a lot more interested than the cat is in her. She may be a bit too intense for a cat.<br/><br/>She likes to chew on her toys and doesn’t know the difference between her toys and a pair of reading glasses, so it would be advised to keep these things out of her reach.<br/><br/>April is on a special diet to prevent stones from re-occurring and has to have drops in her eyes daily. She is pretty good at getting her eye drops put in.<br/><br/>If you’re interested in giving April a home please fill in an application for our review:<br/>https://www.speakingofdogs.com/adoption/dog-adoption-application-2/
