A day in Adoptable Pearl’s life! 💜
Pearl is a young Doberman (about 1.5 years old) who’s ready to find her forever family. She may be small in size, but she’s big on love and personality.
Pearl was found wandering the streets of Kansas with her two littermates, Ember and Sophie. She came into rescue underweight and unsure, but her resilience shines through.
Pearl lives with other resident pets (2 cats and 2 dogs), but would thrive in a home as a single dog or with a young male dog to keep up with her. However, like her brother, Ember, she can be reactive out of fear when she sees unfamiliar dogs or is caught off guard by strangers. She’s making steady progress with training and will thrive in a home that continues to build her confidence with positive reinforcement and patience.
As of now, she has pretty strong leash reactivity towards other dogs, but can warm up to people in the yard. While she is slow to warm up to strangers, once she does, Pearl is wonderfully social and affectionate and seriously wants to be on top of you at all times!
With her gentle and eager-to-please nature, she’ll do well in a calm, understanding home. Pearl already knows her basic commands (sit, stay, touch, down, wait, kennel), is house-trained, and is crate-trained.
Pearl needs an experienced foster home, ideally with handlers familiar with the breed or anxious dogs, and is willing to commit to behavioral training to teach her to feel more comfortable around new dogs/people.
