Pearl #4 Black Labrador Retriever Female 6 Years Old ID#3470

September 10, 2024

Meet Pearl. Pearl is an almost 6yo (her birthday is in December!) black Labrador.  She was sprung from the farm where she was in a concrete kennel nearly all day every day.Due to that she has some scrapes and tears on her paw pads and a couple minor hot spots we’re watching. This must be causing her some pain, as she limps and sometimes hops (avoiding that paw). We’ve been limiting our walks and attempting to stick to the grass. We hope after her vet visit at the end of this week, we’ll get some meds to aid in her healing so she can start to be more active.Other than that, she is a complete doll. She LOVES her people. She walks like a dream on the leash, sometimes even behind us. Of course, she’s nursing a paw so that may change. She has been eating well, and we’re hoping to add a couple pounds to her.She’s adapting to living in a home for the first time at a pretty normal pace for a farm girl. She’s mastered all the doors and a few steps, We’ll hold off on a full flight til she’s healed up.She got to meet and hangout with my 19 month old granddaughter today. She did great, some heavy sniffing at first, but then she was not phased. Stay tuned for more on the black beauty, Pearl.
