About Pearl

Pearl is a 7-month-old mixed breed puppy who has already faced significant challenges in her young life. Rescued from a large hoarding case near Palmdale, she was at risk of euthanasia because she hadn’t experienced the kindness of humans until now. Today, she's making strides and seeks a patient family to help her gain confidence. Pearl gets along well with other dogs and would flourish in a home with a confident canine companion to guide her through new experiences. Weighing about 25 pounds, she's expected to grow into a medium-sized dog around 40-50 pounds. Although Pearl can be shy when meeting new people, she's getting braver each day. She doesn’t need a perfect home—just one that's understanding. A family dedicated to positive reinforcement and routine will see her bloom into the loving pet she was destined to be. If you want to help Pearl write the next chapter of her life, apply to adopt today.
