Pearl is the sweetest 8-week-old German Shepherd mix, which her foster describes as a little bear cub. She started out as the smallest, shyest one in the litter but, oh, how things have changed! Pearl has a voracious appetite and has grown so quickly that she is now significantly bigger than her litter sister. She's a big goofball, very silly, and sometimes a bit clumsy -- but in the most adorable way. She loves to run and chase her sister and play fetch. She has a lot of energy --until she doesn't. After a big play session, she will konk out instantly and have a deep snooze to recharge. She's also  very alert and picks up on any noise or sound very quickly; she loves to sniff and search for things. Perhaps she was a police dog in her former life?  Pearl will tug at your heart strings the minute you meet her.
