Pet of the Week – April

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Hi, I’m April and I have a weight problem. Yes, I hear all the comments people make on the other side of the glass of my shelter home. You thought it was soundproof. Well, it’s not.

I am well aware it looks like I swallowed a basketball but with the right home and loving family, I can get my weight back in check. I have a huge heart, I’m very sweet and friendly, and a staff favorite to boot!  

I’m also a purr machine but I get overlooked because of my weight and age; I say five is not old! I have plenty of life in me.

Come visit me at 2481 Palomar Airport road in Carlsbad. Just ask for April, animal identification number A1519535. My adoption is free and I’ll come with a microchip, vaccinations and a free veterinary examination. For more information, call (619) 767-2675 or visit sddac.com.
