About Pearl

Pearl is a charming 4.5-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to us with her puppies, all of whom have found their forever homes. Now it's her turn to shine! She can be a little shy at first, often barking when she meets new faces, but with some patience, she quickly warms up and shows her sweet nature. Pearl enjoys the company of her humans, often curling up on her dog bed nearby while you go about your day. She shares her space well with resident dogs, cats, and even ducks, and has a playful streak, zooming around with her toys. While Pearl has mastered the dog door, she’s not keen on rainy weather, so she appreciates regular trips outside, even on drizzly days. This little lady needs a patient family who understands her shyness and is willing to give her the time she needs to feel safe. Once she trusts you, she transforms into a loyal and loving companion. Given her vocal tendencies, she might not be the best fit for apartment living. Every pet deserves a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
