Meet the precious Pearl, a 4.5-month-old Maltese/Chihuahua mix. This little gem is sweet and Southern grown—and she’s headed up North in search of her forever home!
Pearl is more than just a pretty face; she has the personality to match. She is gentle, easygoing and gets along well with just about everyone she meets. While she's been calm and playful with the children she's met, we haven't seen how she interacts with them in the home. In typical puppy fashion, she loves to run and play with other dogs in the yard, then recharges with cuddles on the couch. Don’t let those angelic eyes deceive you! She is still a puppy who will have her mischievous moments. She’s looking for a patient family that’s committed to training, playtime and loving her to bits!
Will you give Pearl the pampered life she deserves? Fill out an application today!
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
ABOUT: CHIHUAHUA DOG BREED
The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
The Maltese is a small toy breed known for its glamorous white coat, which is long, silky, and virtually hypoallergenic. They are gentle, affectionate companion dogs that thrive on human companionship and make wonderful family pets. Maltese dogs are playful, intelligent, and alert, with a confident demeanor despite their small size. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and are suitable for apartment living due to their size and adaptability.
