About Pearl
Personality: Quiet, Gentle, Independent, Loves, Affectionate
Pearl, our 6 pound 8 year old chiweenie, is breed-standard (yes, we know a chiweenie isn't a breed). She divides her time between available laps, warm sun spots, and under the covers. If you've ever known a chiweenie, you're probably a fan (we certainly are). And, if you've ever known a chiweenie, you also know they need an extensive sweater collection. Our Pearl is ready for her own home; hopefully one with a wardrobe ready.
Found stray, Pearl was very sick. No one had bothered to spay her and her uterus was infected. The shelter reached out to us for help. Pearl's finally recovered from that infection; she's spayed and we also addressed her dental issues. Although Pearl had to lose a few "pearly-whites" (they weren't actually white and were pretty gross), she eats much better without them.
Crate trained, potty trained and quiet, Pearl is easy to have around. It took her a few days to warm up to the other dogs in her foster home (she's tiny and was a bit overwhelmed), but now she loves them. We think she'd be fine in a home with other patient dogs. Although we haven't seen her with cats, we suspect a dog savvy cat would also be fine.
Pearl is a happy, snuggly dog. She does like the quiet, and needs a secure yard to potty in (shy bladder - can't go while on leash). Walks can be a little scary, so a calm neighborhood would be best as would an adopter willing to periodically carry her. Pearl is reserved and will take a bit to come out of her shell. For that reason, older kids only in her home.
Pearl is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventatives.
Spay your dogs people. It can kill them if you don't.
