This approximately 2.5-year-old Husky/Pit mix came to the shelter as part of a neglect case. Before her former owner could attend court, they were evicted and surrendered April to the shelter. She had been living outdoors in freezing conditions, relying on a tiny metal trash can for shelter when temperatures dropped to 19 degrees. It is honestly amazing how friendly and loving she is after all she has been through.<br/><br/>Despite her past, April is described as a truly great dog by everyone who meets her. She loves to follow her foster around the hosue all day and watches trying to figure out what you are doing. She is very smart, treat motivated and eager to please her people. She will be an easy one to train and learn new tricks. April is dog friendly and gets along with the 4 other dogs in her foster home and has been great in a larger play group. She is more of a dominant female.<br/><br/>She is 90% potty trained and will likely be completely potty trained soon. She is good in her crate and doesn't chew on any of the blankets. She will work more on leash walking when the weather gets a little warmer. She recently went shopping in a Sierra store and was a really good girl, so good that a little girl even had her pick out some dog treats. She does great with kids, but might be better for older kids since she could bump into them. She LOVES to get attention and give kisses. She is working on not jumping. She will sleep all night in a crate in your room, or her preference- in bed snuggled up with you. She has done fine with the 2 resident cats at her foster home.<br/><br/>Now that she’s arrived in Wisconsin, April is adjusting well and continuing to show what a special girl she is. She’s enjoying the comforts she was once denied and is ready to find either a foster or forever home where she can fully thrive.<br/><br/>April at a Glance<br/><br/>Age: Approximately 1 year old<br/>Gender: Female<br/>Weight: Approximately 55 lbs<br/>Breed: Husky / Pit mix (best guess)<br/>Potty Trained: Almost<br/>Crate Trained: Yes<br/>Leash Manners: Working on it<br/>Good with Dogs: Yes<br/>Good with Cats: Yes<br/>Good with Kids: Yes<br/><br/>April has already endured so much and remained a gentle, loving dog through it all.
