My story

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

Cute chihuahua Perl has the most phenomenal face – in an effort to be the most comically out of proportion feature, this lovely lady has enormous ears and the tiniest little teeth (they’re truly adorable). She also has an adorable frosting face and sugar dusted paws suggesting that she pranced joyfully through a box of powdered donuts, but we think she was just so sweet that it manifested in her fur color. This little lady is a pint-sized pup so you can take her everywhere you go – in a sling, on a leash, in your arms (her preferred option but she’s not particular). If you’re looking for a senior whose sweetness rivals that of a whole box of chocolates, consider adding a little Perl to your life.

Here's some notes from her foster:

She waddled right in to the house, greeted the pack, and immediately sniffed out my husband as the likely party who would cater to her desires. Accurately, he has since he has been carrying her around everywhere like the queen she is. She had a spa bath last night and enjoyed relaxing in a fleece hoodie.

Perl is Potty trained it seems, she sleeps through the night. She's kid, male friendly, dog friendly- but she is not shy about letting a bigger dog, or in our case a bigger youngster who wants everyone to play, know exactly who is boss. She shows that one snaggle tooth and immediately declares herself.

She is enjoying sun bathing and having her first pup cup on the island. She also enjoyed kiddo story time!
