Meet Pearl
We went to the Humane Society of Weld County on the 6th of May to just “look” at some of the dogs available for adoption. I had a few smaller dogs picked out that I wanted to see but as soon as we walked in all the dogs I wanted to see got adopted within the first 10 minutes of us being there. We decided to go browse and see what else they had anyway. Most of the dogs were jumping up on the window and barking at us as soon as we passed by their kennel. Except one. She just turned around and looked me in the eye and something magical happened. She spoke to me. My kids looked at her and said, wow she’s so pretty! She did jump up on the window very slowly to see Zahkya and Tristyn closer and they both had a magically moment with her. We all decided, we wanted to visit this dog in the visiting room.
While we were out int he office area to let them know we wanted to have a visitation with Pearl some other people walked in with a pure white baby pit bull puppy. He was sooo cute and in my mind I thought, wow we were standing at the right place at the right time. We put our name on that puppy to get a phone call as soon as he was available for adoption. Even tho we thought we found our forever puppy, we all decided we still wanted to visit with 3 year old Pearl.
They took us back into the visiting room and here came Pearl. She immediately gave us all kisses and learned up against our legs giving us hugs. They picked her up as a stray and her teats were hanging and looked as if she had puppies recently. She had this look about her that said, I love you. She was the sweetest dog ever and the humane society confirmed that. We only got a 5 minute visit with Pearl and we all chatted as a family afterwards what we thought about her. We were all in agreement. We wanted Pearl.
Pit Bulls get such a bad reputation. We brought Pearl home and she’s been an absolute dream dog. She isn’t house trained so we are working on that but she is truly the sweetest dog ever. She is very people motivated and wants nothing more than to get a “good girl” and some snuggles. Oh boy does she snuggle. She’s slept with Tristyn in his room from day one and sleeps with him in his bed every night. Her spay incision started leaking when we brought her home so I had to get her to the vet where she got some antibiotics and that leaking cleared up within days. She’s continued to amaze us and we have continued to fall even more in love with her. I’m sad we didn’t get to do this the first three years of her life and I’m sad that such a sweet girl never had a forever family. She does now. We love her so much.
