Hello! I am April Ludgate, the shyest and sweetest member of the Parks and Rec crew. Foster mom tells me I am so darn cute, I could get away with anything, but I would never abuse that power! All I am looking for is someone to show me the world is a safe place – so I think I would prefer a quieter home to a loud one. I am great with kids, but again, quiet kids. I am just 10 weeks old, so I have lots to learn, but I am mastering potty training (not one single accident indoors!) and I am a polite eater, for a puppy haha! Mom is said to be a husky/shepherd cross, and dad is unknown, so I don’t…
If April Ludgate isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
