My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet April!!
She’s like a shy little wood sprite who wandered in from the forest on a whisper of wind. April came in as a stray on 11/5/25, and we think she’s about 8 years old. At first, she’s timid and skittish with new people—like a breeze that slips just out of reach. But give her a little time, a soft voice, and a kind heart, and she’ll slowly come forward to share her quiet magic.

Once she feels safe, April shows her sweet, playful side. She even knows how to sit and shake—proof that this delicate soul has a spark of fun beneath her gentle grace. Let her move at her own pace, and you’ll discover the loving heart of this woodland fairy.

April is located at the Richland County Dog Shelter in Mansfield, OH.
