April

Meet April, the cheeky kelpie cross looking for her perfect family. April is a lovely young lady, just over 2 years old. She is a kelpie x, with strong kelpie traits in both looks and personality. She mixes well with adults and children. She loves affection and attention and will sneak on the couch at every opportunity to be by your side. She also likes to socialise with other dogs, and would suit a home with another dog to keep her company. She is active and energetic, but is still learning how to be comfortable walking on lead. April isn't great with cats.

April would benefit from some formal training and socialisation. She needs to improve her basic manners (jumping, obedience, toileting), but she is bright and intelligent and has the ability to learn quickly. She can also be timid in some situations (e.g. meeting new people, noisy environments) but warms quickly. She would suit a family who are willing to adapt to accommodate her friendly but shy personality and give her the time she needs for training. Like most kelpies, she is a world champion jumper and needs a yard with secure, high fencing (1.8m+). Although this hasn't been an issue with her current foster home.

April is:
- very affectionate, enthusiastic and fun
- family-friendly
- young and active
- smart and perceptive

April needs:
- owners (adults and/or children) with a calm, quiet living environment
- secure yard; high fences 1.8m+
- friendly companion dog for company (not cats)
- basic obedience training
