Pretty Pearl

Hi, I’m Pearl.<br/><br/>I’m about 8 pounds of silky fluff, strong opinions, and a heart that’s learning how to feel safe again.<br/><br/>I’m one year old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully convinced that strangers are… well… highly suspicious. Possibly villains. Definitely to be judged from a safe distance. This is not because I’m mean — it’s because I’ve lived through a lot more chaos than a tiny dog like me ever should have. When I came into rescue, I was dirty, flea-infested, and absolutely terrified. The world felt loud and unpredictable, and I learned that being a little bossy was one way to protect myself.<br/><br/>The good news? With a little help of some puppy prozac, I am learning that I am now safe and ready to for my forever person. I’m playful, curious, silly, and surprisingly brave when I feel secure. I love car rides, walk beautifully on a leash, and I’m house trained, crate trained, and even potty-pad trained (yes, I’m very accomplished). I get along well with other dogs and cats, and I don’t bark much or struggle when left alone.<br/><br/>I do best in a calm, peaceful home — ideally with a patient, experienced adopter who understands that some little dogs come with big personalities and tender histories. Older kids (12+) are fine, but I really shine with quiet adults who appreciate a tiny dog who occasionally believes she is the household manager.<br/><br/>What I need most is patience, consistency, and someone who can laugh gently when I puff myself up like a very small, very serious guard dog — then give me the time I need to relax and show my softer side. Because once I trust you, I’m loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining.<br/><br/>I may be small, but I’m mighty. And I’m ready for a peaceful forever where I can finally just be… Pearl. <br/><br/>To be considered for this little girl, please submit an application at www.pacificanimalsociety.org
