Meet Puppy Pearl – The Pint-Sized Savy Street Survivor Turned Social Butterfly!

Allow us to introduce Pearl, a sassy little black Terrier mix puppy, about 10–12 weeks old, with more sparkle than a disco ball at a puppy prom! Found strutting the streets of Minneapolis like she owned the block, Pearl somehow survived all on her own until a kind-hearted United Doberman Rescue volunteer scooped her up, searched for days on end for her owners to no avail, finally and promised her a better life.

And let’s be real—who loses a puppy and doesn’t even look for her?! That’s not the kind of human Pearl needs. This girl deserves someone who will obsessively show her baby pics, throw her birthday parties, post her pictures endlessly on Facebook and refer to themselves as her “momager.”

Right now, Pearl is crashing at Ruffin Inn, our version of a temporary puppy hostel, where she’s living her best life playing with other puppies, learning some puppy etiquette and charming everyone with her snuggles, wiggles, and slightly dramatic puppy eyes. But she knows this is just a temporary pit stop on her road to greatness.

What Pearl Needs:

• A foster home to start, where she can practice being spoiled.

• Ultimately, a forever home with people who love zoomies, squeaky toys, and unconditional loyalty.

• She’s had her first shots, and she’s ready to roll into someone’s heart and never leave.

Pearl is a tiny comedian, a cuddle queen, and a total scene-stealer. If your lap is cold and your life is boring, Pearl is here to fix both.

Currently: Boarding at Ruffin Inn
Health: First shots done!
Goal: Foster home → Forever home → World domination

Ready to give this girl the future she deserves? Foster or adopt Pearl and become part of her glow-up story.✨
