• “My name is April and my mom rescued me 5 years ago! We have been inseparable ever since. My past owner was very mean to me and left scars all over my body, but my mom took care of my wounds and made sure I could trust humans again. I haven't met a bad human since! Yay! Dogs you ask? Well, my brother Ben and I used to be best friends. My mom took us on all sorts of adventures until he got sick and never came home. I'm still really sad, but mom keeps a photo of him next to my food bowl so he's always with me. My big brother taught me how to trust humans and even how to play fetch. He even saved me from our angry neighbor dog who beat me up... it's taken me a long time to trust other dogs again, but my mom is trying to help me. For now, it's not safe for me to be around other dogs. I wish my brother could be here to play fetch with me. I guess my mom is fine too. I love to explore nature and am trying to convince my mom to move into the mountains. I love climbing steep rocks and hiking up any terrain. I even have supercool hiking boots! On the weekends sometimes we sleep in a tent outside and that is my favorite!“
