Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Consider yourself the ultimate dog lover? Love working with strong, driven dogs and want a hiking buddy who can keep up no matter the terrain? April is ready to meet you!
April is nearly 2 years old, weighs about 56 pounds, and is believed to be a German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She’s got all the classic bird dog traits: athletic, alert, and always scanning the skies. No hawk or vulture goes unnoticed on her watch!
With an extremely strong prey drive, April is not a good match for homes with cats or roaming wildlife. Feral cats, in particular, really get her going. She can clear a standard fence if motivated, so a secure setup is essential. We recommend a wooden privacy fence, underground fencing, or a home where April will always be supervised and kept close.
April has done well with many dogs here at HSOC, but she plays rough and isn’t every dog's cup of tea. Any potential canine siblings will need a meet-and-greet to be sure April is compatible.
Our trainer, Jim Kats, is a big fan of April’s strength, drive, and trainability. She thrives with structure and responds well to training. To help set everyone up for success, every adoption includes a free transitional training lesson with Jim, tailored to both April’s needs and yours.
If you’re looking for an active, intelligent, and driven companion who’s ready to work, explore, and learn alongside you, April just might be your perfect match.

All adoptions start with an application and a meet-n-greet between the family (and, yes, that very much does include all members with fur and four legs!) and the prospective adoptee. Fees available upon request.
