More about Pearl

Meet Pearl 

Pearl is an approximately 6-year-old mixed breed sweetheart rescued the Selwyn District shelter September 2024
A few things to know about Pearl:
Personality: This large, lovely lady weighs around 40 kg (with some room to gain a little more), and she has plenty of personality to match her size, loving and loyal she is happy to snooze in the garden or go for an adventure, Pearl just loves to use her nose to learn about the world so be prepared to stop to smell the roses!
Social skills: Pearl can be social with other dogs, but slow introductions are a must, though she can get a little frustrated if she can’t reach them quickly enough and she’s not getting her way, you might hear her bark, so Pearl will need someone who can help guide her through those moments and be physically capable of managing her on the lead as she is a strong lady.
Cats: Pearl is suited to a home with a dog savvy, confident cat
 
Health: Pearl has recently had a surgery to remove some non-cancerous mammary tumors removed, due to a shift in hormones a few more have developed and will be having a second surgery in the new year which will be covered by Dogwatch.
Children: Pearl is good with young children but because of her size dog savvy children would be best
In the home: Pearl is currently in a foster home; she is toilet trained and has great house manners.
