My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Perla — a petite senior sweetheart whose gentle presence and joyful little moments make every day brighter.
Perla is low-energy overall and perfectly content being your quiet companion. She enjoys short bursts of play, but her favorite place is curled up right beside her people. Whether you’re working, reading, or moving around the house, Perla will happily keep you company — often following along quietly just to stay close.

She has some truly endearing quirks that make her extra special. Perla adores her stuffed bunny, which she carries around the house and snuggles with. And in the mornings, she celebrates the day in the cutest way — by pouncing into the nearest pile of leaves, rolling around, and letting out a little howl as if she’s greeting the world. It’s impossible not to smile watching her start her day.

Perla is fully potty trained and even adds a bit of entertainment to her routine with a quick 30-second zoomie session and a tiny “song” before heading out. She does great in her crate and will politely let you know when she needs to go outside in the morning. While she can feel a bit nervous if a large dog approaches her kennel, she does well with other dogs in general and this is something her foster is actively helping her work through.
She rides well in the car — a little whining at first, then settling in and usually falling asleep. In public settings like the vet’s office and when visitors come over, Perla has been friendly, social, and eager to make new friends.

Perla does well with other dogs and seems especially comfortable with smaller pups. She has happily coexisted with both a large female dog and a tiny male dog, showing playful interest and enjoying snuggles with the smaller dog. She has also done well with cats in a previous foster home, remaining aware but not overly engaged.

Currently healing from recent medical procedures, Perla is ready to find a loving home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by comfort, patience, and affection. If you’re looking for a gentle, low-key companion with a sweet soul and just the right touch of playful charm, Perla may be the perfect addition to your family.
