Meet the fabulous Pearl! This delightful 8-year-old dachshund/small dog mix (best guess) weighs in at a petite 20 pounds of pure love. 🌟 Pearl’s journey began in a small rural shelter in Tennessee where life was a bit dreary, but thanks to her angels, she was brought to a loving rescue. Now, Pearl is in her cozy foster home in the South, dreaming of dashing up north to Pennsylvania to find the forever family she so richly deserves! Oh, let me tell you, Pearl is the quintessential lap dog! She may have a few years under her belt but don’t let that fool you; this spunky gal has all the energy you could want without the puppy antics! 🐶 While she isn’t launching into playful puppy fits, she knows how to charm her way onto your lap—often before you even have a chance to sit down! Once you settle in, don’t be surprised if you find Pearl glued to your side, her little body soaking up all the love and warmth you have to offer! If you accidentally try to push her off, prepare yourself for a determined leap back! 😂💖 Although she can be a little vocal (let’s just say she likes to express her thoughts about lap space), her sass is as amusing as it is adorable. Pearl has transformed from a shy little lady into a velcro dog extraordinaire — a heartwarming journey that will make anyone swoon! We truly believe she’d thrive as an only dog, enjoying all the love and attention without any competition. She has been perfectly fine around cats! 🐾 As for her needs to transition into her forever home, Pearl is currently house-trained to a doggie door. Just be ready to sprinkle some patience and gentle guidance in the mix while she adapts to a new method. 🌈 A fenced-in yard would be ideal for her to frolic freely, but it’s not a deal-breaker! With all her vaccinations up to date and spayed, she's ready to start her new chapter. So if your lap is feeling chill and is in dire need of a cuddly companion, don't wait! Hop onto the Buddy App and apply for our beloved Pearl today! She’s just waiting to warm your heart and your lap! Current location: Mississippi, awaiting her freedom ride to PA!
