April is 2 years old and is such a sweetheart. She is 26lbs and fully grown. She loves attention, cuddles, catching balls/toys in the air, running in a field off leash. She is very good with kids and does well with other dogs. She still needs some leash training.
We adopted her from the shelter at 3 months old and they were unsure what her breed was. She is 71% Boykin Spaniel and is a working dog. Sadly, she requires way more exercise and mental stimulation than we are able to provide. She is crate trained and potty trained.
April would do great with someone/a family who has a big fenced in yard or lots of land, or has a very active lifestyle. We love her so much and as hard as it is to do this, we feel it is best for her to be with someone who has the ability to meet her needs fully.
