This lovely lady is Pearl. We believe she is coming up to 7 years of age. We were contacted before Christmas to say that she had been picked up as a stray and was heavily pregnant. She was not microchipped and nobody looked to claim her.

Pearl produced 11 puppies but sadly a little girl who was very small and not breathing lasted just over 24 hours.

This is what we were told about Pearl:

“She came to us as a stray so nothing is known about her past life other than she’s clearly had at least one litter. She is a small to medium sized GSD. She is possibly about 6-7 years old. She can be nervous when she first sees you and will try and distance herself but once she realises she is safe she can be quite affectionate and will lie down next to you. She does like a nice treat but can be a bit eager to take it and move away so dropping it in front of her or in a flat palm is best. She is quite good on a lead once you have her trust. She let me check her ears and teeth with no problems. She didn’t seem to know what to do or have much interest in any toys. She will try and create space between herself and the other dogs in our care but isn’t aggressive, she would rather go the other way. She seems to have had a hard life so far and would love an environment where she can relax and come out of her shell and enjoy being a dog.”

Pearl is exactly this and was in fact very nervous of hand movements so would think she has had a beating or a kicking in the past. Once she trusts you she is a sweetheart. Does not seem to know commands such as sit, but knows her name now and walking round the field, rarely leaves your side. She has obviously not had a great diet either as her bloods showed so is on a special diet and B12 supplements at present.

Pearl deserves a home where she can relax and be loved and stop having to worry about looking out for herself and any pups she has.

Pearl has found a super home where she has settled so well and is discovering the joys of life again with her toy boy Cooper!
