About Pearl
Pearl is a beautiful German Shepherd mix. Her foster mom thinks she was abandoned. She has been living on her own in the woods for many months and was afraid of approaching people. She was sighted over a period of months and her “mom” began feeding her daily near the house. Gradually she won her trust and recently Pearl accepted a cookie from her foster mom’s hand and a pet, allowing her to slip a leash over her neck. Success! She was rescued from a life in the wild!Age, Health
Pearl is estimated at age 6 but this is just a guess. She was already spayed. She has a slight limp and the vet believes she was most likely hit by a car. She is taking arthritis medication. She is getting along just fine. She tested negative for heartworm and is on preventative. She has been thoroughly vetted and given all vaccinations.
Temperament
Pearl gets along well with other dogs. She has become her foster mom’s shadow. She sits at her feet and follows her everywhere. She is fully housebroken, knows basic obedience commands, and learned the doggie door in one day! She is affectionate and just a bit silly. This is a wonderful dog who deserves a chance for a forever home.Pearl’s Ideal Owner
Pearl would thrive either as an only dog or with a dog companion. She requires a fenced yard and someone committed to giving her a home for life.
