About Pearl
PEARL – Pretty, Petite & Full of Personality 🐾
Miniature Dachshund | Born 19 January 2026
Available from 16 March 2026
Pearl is a gorgeous tri-colour Miniature Dachshund girl with the sweetest little face and a cuddly nature to match. She is everything you would expect from this much-loved breed — affectionate, loyal and devoted to her people.
Mini Dachshunds are renowned for their bold little hearts. Originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers, they are surprisingly brave, intelligent and curious for such a small dog. Despite their hunting background, they are deeply companion-oriented and thrive when included as part of the family. They bond closely with their humans and are happiest when they are inside, near you, and involved in daily life.
Pearl is a very pretty, affectionate little girl who enjoys cuddles and companionship. She is very definitely a companion dog and will not suit an outdoor-only lifestyle. Indoor privileges are essential for this tiny treasure.
🩺 Health & Vaccination
• First C3 vaccination given on 2 March 2026
• Next vaccinations due on 2 April and 2 May 2026
🏡 Ideal Home
• Secure fencing
• Someone home most of the time
• A loving, safe and stable environment
• Committed to keeping her as an indoor companion
Pearl is offered under the terms of our Deferred Desexing Program, which requires that she not be bred from and that she be desexed at the appropriate age. The cost of desexing is included in her adoption fee, subject to terms and conditions.
This little lady is ready to bring warmth, loyalty and plenty of snuggles to the right home.
