Meet Pearl, a gentle and shy 4-year-old golden retriever who is on a journey to find her forever home. With her soft golden fur and kind eyes, Pearl is a sweetheart at heart, crate trained and fully potty trained. While she may be a timid, especially when it comes to exploring the great outdoors, she is learning that walks can be fun and not so scary! Pearl thrives in the company of other dogs, making her the perfect companion for a furry friend who can help her build confidence and feel secure. She would greatly benefit from a patient owner who understands her gentle nature and can provide a calm, quiet environment for her to grow and learn. With a little love and encouragement, Pearl is ready to blossom into the brave and loving dog she is meant to be. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your home with, Pearl might just be your perfect match! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
