Perla is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Perla and her sister Camila and brother Philber come to us all the way from Puerto Rico. These island dogs are known as "Satos" (slang for street dog), and it is estimated that there are over 600,000 on the island. Perla and her siblings were found as teeny tiny puppies and taken in off the streets by a good samaritan. An organization down there helped get them vaccinated and healthy enough to travel, and sent them to us. We are so happy to have them here! Perla is a total doll. She loves to frolic and play with her siblings, and is happy to be in the mix with all of the dogs of all sizes. She is learning to walk on a leash for the first time (sometimes we baby these pups and carry them to the yard!), and is doing well. Treats help her overcome anything-- this girl loves to eat! Perla is gentle and affectionate, and is going to make a person or family very happy. We hope you will come and meet her soon! Perla's adoption fee is $450. This animal is spayed, and is up to date on core vaccines. She will need a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet. Since she is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.
