About Pearl

Meet Pearl, also known as the "crusty queen with opinions." At 4 years old and weighing around 6 lbs, she’s ready to live life on her terms after being a devoted "milk dog" mama. Since coming to the rescue with a dozen other dogs, she’s made remarkable progress in socialization but remains an independent lady. If you seek a cuddle bug, Pearl will kindly decline. However, if you want a delightful companion who showers you in kisses, demands head scratches, and has an adorable little wiggle, she’s the perfect fit. Pearl enjoys some unique hobbies: - Throwing her toys around for her own amusement - Perching like a tiny gargoyle on the couch - Bestowing unsolicited kisses - Wiggling excitedly when she hears "Pearly girly" House-trained and crate-trained, Pearl may need a gentle reminder in a new home. She thrives on routine. To adopt her, you’ll need a home with a fenced yard. Pearl prefers to be the only dog or have a very submissive dog sibling, as she has a bit of attitude that not everyone appreciates. She's not keen on being reached for, so gentle guidance is best when going outside. Pearl has never shown aggression; she just needs a little time to feel safe. She’s wonderfully quirky, full of personality, and waiting for the right person who can appreciate her sass and boundaries. If this sounds like you, Pearl can’t wait to meet you!
