Pearl

My story

Pearl’s Journey—From the Shelter to Surgery and Now Healing Pearl is approx 12-14 year old shih tzu mix weighing in at 6 lbs. She was rescued from a kill shelter and released to us early due to her condition. It truly feels like divine timing—just in time for us to rush her in for emergency surgery. She was suffering from pyometra, a severe and often fatal uterine infection caused by not being spayed. Her chances of survival were slim, but our girl is a fighter. She made it through surgery and is now home recovering. If you listen closely to her video, you’ll hear her whimpering—she’s still in a lot of pain, but we’re keeping her pain meds on schedule to keep her as comfortable as possible. While under, she also had a much-needed dental. A couple of teeth had to be pulled, but she still has plenty left to flash a little smile. 😁 Pearl will need daily eye medication for the rest of her life, but that’s a small price to pay for the life she still has ahead of her. We’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and helped us save her. She is now looking for a full time lap to spend the rest of her years. Please no small children in the household Her adoption fee is $250
