Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pearl is an 8mo old, 20lb mini Aussie mix gal. She is beautiful and you have to feel her super soft coat to really appreciate it! She is kennel trained and keeps a clean kennel. Pearl is super smart and very treat and praise motivated.
Pearl is kid, cat and dog friendly :). She has displayed some resource guarding with food/treats around other pets but this is normal for a pup with her history of having to fight for her food and we will continue to feed her in her kennel while we work through this. She is already showing signs of improvement as she is realizing she will always be fed and will never ever go hungry again.
She would do best with a confident dog friend and/or dedicated work towards continued socialization at a doggie daycare or supervised doggie play date. We are working on leash training and recall. She is a sneaky gal and will leave her kennel (her safe space) to sneak around and grab kid toys and random items and take it back to her kennel. She has gotten the zoomies a couple times now and was so pleased with herself!
Pearl's most perfect new family will be loving and patient as she is learning that people can be so much fun! She is working on socialization and already greets everyone with tail wags and gentle kisses.
She is a flight risk, scared of loud noises and storms, so will need to be leashed at all times. I keep a leash on her in the fenced backyard as we work on recall. She is already learning that I will keep her safe and runs to me when she gets scared.
This sweet girl has two sisters in the Kansas City area, who would love to meet up occasionally for play dates!

All meet and greets will need to be arranged with the foster. We do not have a facility.
