"PERLA" Available for Adoption at "CLACKAMAS CO DOG Services"

 Shelter ID: 106482 Breed: Rhodesian Ridgeback/Mix

spayed female 5 yr 68 lbs adoption fee $210

Description: At roughly 5 years old and weighing about 68lbs, Perla is a sweet and gentle girl who is ready to find her forever person! We believe Perla is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and this lovely lady has a heart as big as her size. Perla absolutely adores people and is happiest when she is right by your side. Whether she is offering you her paw for a shake or gently asking for pets, Perla makes it clear that her favorite place is wherever her people are. She is still working on her leash manners and can be a bit of a puller, but she is incredibly motivated by treats and praise and is eager to continue learning with her new family. Perla would love a home where she can be included, loved, and spend her days being someone's loyal companion.

1. Perla is a true people-dog and would do best with a family who is looking for a companion that wants to be involved in their daily life. She loves attention, affection, and being near her humans, making her a wonderful fit for someone looking for a loyal sidekick.

2. Perla is still working on her leash skills and can pull when she is excited. The good news is that she is very treat motivated and responds well to praise, which will make continuing her training a fun and rewarding experience for her and her new family! We would recommend older children (9+).

3. Perla has done well meeting other dogs while in our care. If you have a resident dog, we will require scheduling a meet and greet with Perla prior to adoption to ensure they are a great match.

4. We do not yet know how Perla would do with cats or other small animals. If you have small animals in the home, please discuss proper introductions and expectations with your adoption counselor.
