Hi there, I’m Pearl, and I’m so glad you want to get to know me! I’m a beautiful silver lady who was used as a breeder dog in Iowa.
While I was initially a shy little lady, I've been in my foster home for a few weeks, soaking up all the love I deserve and learning how to be a part of a real family. My playful, sassy, and loving personality is really starting to shine!
I am an amazing retriever, and while I initially buried the treasures I retrieved, I'm happy to return them right to you now! I'm perfectly potty trained, walk well on a leash (no pulling), and have awesome recall off leash as well... although we always practice in a fenced area! I've even learned that car rides usually mean we're going somewhere fun and I "load up" on command.
My foster sister has taught me to sit quietly and use my sweet face to ask for treats and to take them very gently. While I'm still a bit shy with new people, just give me 5 minutes and I'm eager to come meet you and collect my pets.
I get along great with all the other dogs I’ve met. I’m also totally cool with cats—no issues there!
A canine sibling would be a welcomed help in showing me the ropes!. I also LOVE to run run run, so I’d absolutely love an active adopter or a nice big yard to run and play in. And boy can I run! My foster mom says I look like a gazelle when I get going!
I’ve tested positive for heartworm (don’t worry—it’s not contagious!). The wonderful folks at MLRR are helping me with my treatment, and while I’m going through it, I’ll need a calm and stress-free environment to heal. I’ll need to take it easy and avoid high-energy activities (so no zoomies for now!) so the treatment can work its magic. Once I’m fully healed, I’ll be ready to take on the world!
