Pearl's Story

Meet Pearl!<br/><br/>Pearl is an older gal who showed up as a "stray" on Pearl Street back at the end of May. Shortly after arriving at FDHS, we discovered that Pearl had a mass, and suddenly this sweet senior had a whole lot of unknowns ahead of her. Thankfully, Pearl had an incredible team in her corner. She got to spend some time with our Shelter Manager while we waited on diagnostics and figured out what she needed next.<br/><br/>We soon learned that Pearl had a cancerous mass on her spleen, so we wasted no time scheduling her for a splenectomy. Pearl had an amazing team of doctors and nurses caring for her, and she was blessed with a fantastic surgery and recovery. Once she was ready, she headed into foster care with one of our wonderful foster moms, where she has been living her absolute BEST life ever since.<br/><br/>According to her foster mom, Pearl is basically a mini polar bear. She is fluffy, completely adorable and takes her job as a professional hibernator VERY seriously. Her ideal day consists of finding the coziest spot on the couch, snuggling up with her favorite blanket and binge watching whatever show you have on. She is a very low-key girl who doesn't need much to be happy. Give her a soft place to snooze, some love and a peaceful home, and Pearl is one happy lady.<br/><br/>Pearl loves getting to explore freely in a fenced yard, but she is also a well mannered walking buddy. Now, we should warn you that Pearl does have a stubborn streak. When Pearl decides she is done walking, she is DONE walking. When Pearl decides she would like to go somewhere else, she has no problem expressing her opinion. She has perfected the art of politely reminding you that she is, in fact, her own lady. And we can't help but respect it.<br/><br/>Miss Pearl is looking for the perfect retirement home where she can finally enjoy the quiet life. She would love a peaceful family who appreciates a slower pace and is perfectly content to spend her days relaxing by your side. After everything Pearl has been through, she deserves nothing less than the very best.<br/><br/>And thanks to an incredibly generous animal loving donor, Pearl's adoption fee has been COMPLETELY SPONSORED! Her bags are packed and her retirement home is out there. Now we just need to find it.<br/><br/><br/><br/>**Spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs 42 lbs**
