Perla's Story

** Perla is looking for a short term foster sitter from Jan. 16th to Jan. 19th! If you are interested in hosting her, email foster@phillypaws.org to learn more about Perla! ** <br/><br/>Meet Perla, the queen of cuddles and certified ball aficionado. This affectionate, outgoing girl radiates joy everywhere she goes and is ready to bring that sunshine into your home. Perla loves people-like, truly loves everyone-and gets adorably excited when you walk through the door, whether you've been gone all day or just stepped out for a moment. She greets everyone like an old friend, happily offering kisses and soaking up as much attention as you'll give.<br/><br/>Perla lives by one simple motto: Ball is life. Tennis balls, squeaky balls, rubber balls-she isn't picky. She'll proudly carry one around like it's treasure, chase it with enthusiasm, and keep the game going for as long as you let her. She's still working on catching them out of the air and perfecting her "drop," but she has so much fun trying that you can't help but cheer her on.<br/><br/>At home, she's a well-mannered companion who is reportedly house trained, settles nicely when left alone, and happily entertains herself with toys until her people return. She knows "sit," "come," and "stay," loves learning, and is highly motivated by treats-especially carrots, cucumbers, and peanut butter. On walks, Perla is working on her leash manners; she can pull when she sees something exciting to chase, but with consistency and training (and a ball or snacks on hand!) she's already making progress.<br/><br/>When she's not chasing a ball or handing out kisses, Perla enjoys car rides, playing fetch, and watching "Dog TV," where she barks enthusiastically at the pups on screen. She's full of love, brimming with personality, and ready to be someone's new best friend. If your home is missing a joyful, affectionate, totally lovable sidekick, Perla can't wait to meet you.<br/><br/>Check out Perla's adventures in foster care on Instagram @lena_dibo<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.<br/><br/>------------------------------------<br/><br/>This dog is currently located in a PAWS foster home. In order to meet with any dogs in foster care, you will need to have a fully processed and approved application first. To get the adoption process started, please complete the adoption application at phillypaws.org/dogapp. If you have any questions, feel free to email adoptions@phillypaws.org or call 215-298-9680 ext. 16.<br/><br/>Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave, Phila, PA 19146 (by appointment only).
