PEARL - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / BOXER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Boxer / Mixed. Meet Pearl — a gentle, 12-year-old mixed-breed lady with a lifetime of love behind her and so much still to give. Weighing about 65 lbs, Pearl is as easygoing and affectionate as they come. She’s happiest simply being near her people, quietly napping or keeping you company. She rarely makes a peep, but she’ll let out a polite bark when she needs to go outside. And when you come home, prepare for a warm, tail-wagging greeting that never fails to brighten the day. Pearl comes from a very loving home. Her former owner, a devoted animal rescuer, adored her deeply — Pearl even had her own 4-foot-deep swimming pool and spent countless hours happily paddling and lounging in the water. She was cherished, active, and always by her person’s side. After her owner passed away, Pearl stayed with extended family, despite a close friend of her owner offering to take her in. A couple of years later, she was brought to the shelter in rough shape: covered in fleas, with irritated skin and low energy. Even so, Pearl remained gentle and trusting, ready to love again the moment she felt safe. Today, Pearl enjoys slow strolls, gentle exploring, and all the soft, cozy beds she can find. She walks with a limp from arthritis in her back end, but with medication and injections she stays comfortable, and she approaches each day with quiet resilience. She may need a little help with stairs, though she tries her best to manage on her own. She gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and even cats. She eats well, settles easily, and doesn’t need a crate. And one of her greatest joys? Riding shotgun in the car like the perfect co-pilot, peacefully watching the world go by. With her low-energy, tender spirit, Pearl would thrive in a calm home with people who are home often and where stairs are minimal. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will fill your life with quiet affection and gratitude, Pearl may be your perfect match.
