April's Story

April is a friendly 3-year-old, 8-pound Silky Terrier. April has the standard traits of a Silky Terrier, intelligent, affectionate, friendly, playful, with a touch of stubbornness. She is alert to her surroundings and likes to stay busy. <br/><br/>The Silky Terrier description from one website states: This is no sissy lap dog. The silky terrier is a tough character that is always up for a challenge and adventure. Oblivious to its size, this dog would love to go vermin hunting if only given the chance. Fortunately, the silky can meet its hunting needs by playing games and hunting toys around the house and yard.<br/>These are playful dogs, but also loving. Silky terriers can be great playmates for considerate children. They are fairly friendly toward strangers but can be aggressive to other dogs and pets. Silkies are great watchdogs (although they could be accused of barking too much), but they are too small to be effective as protection dogs.<br/><br/>Obedience training is possible, but it must be made into a fun event or the silky just will not play.<br/><br/>April was found by a good Samaritan in the middle of a busy interstate, unable to see because her hair was covering her eyes, and her limbs were matted to her body. April is a lap dog who loves attention. She is friendly and will seek attention from visitors and strangers. April will be best as an only dog, but could possibly share a home with one other small dog (under 10 lbs) who is not lap possessive. April doesn't hesitate to stand up for herself or push another dog's buttons, even ones bigger than she is. April craves attention and constantly shows you she is a very happy little girl.<br/><br/>April has dry eye (KCS), which means she needs tacrolimus eye drops 2 times a day for the rest of her life. These eye drops are $55/bottle and last about 6 weeks. One bottle will be included with her at adoption time. <br/><br/>April is not completely house trained, so she will need someone who is willing and able to work with her on teaching her outdoor potty skills. If taken out frequently and on a schedule, April learns. She will use potty pads. <br/><br/>The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. <br/><br/>WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be at least 4 feet with gaps no larger than 1 1/4 inches and attached to the home. An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing), it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions.<br/><br/>We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business days. <br/><br/>Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. <br/><br/>Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. <br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $500
