About Pearl
Pearl is a rescue dog and requires patience and time - she is not a ready made family dog, please read the following information carefully before inquiring thanks!
Purebred desexed female Maremma, approx 6yo (est). Retired working dog whom has had minimal close contact with humans before arriving to us. Has not had any typical domestic dog experiences such as regular walking on lead as is common with working dogs on land.
Pearl is a large, very heavy dog who requires light, regular exercise (walking on lead) to maintain a healthy weight. Her lead training has commenced with us and she requires a patient new owner whom will continue on with this. Pearl is still getting used to socialising with humans but she has done extremely well with what we have encouraged her to do with us by continual positives reinforcement and gentle encouragement.
Friendly and gentle with humans, not patient with other young dogs. Tolerates older dogs and is gentle with cats. Not suitable for young children, she is a senior dog with little human contact as a previous working dog.
Pearl prefers to sleep indoors during the day and outdoors at night time. She requires a patient and calm new owner due to her lack of socialisation with humans, so continuous positive reinforcement is required. She is gentle, friendly, solitary and aloof which is typical maremma behaviour. Pearl's career as an active working maremma is effectively over and she would love a nice retirement home! Pearl has previously resided on a farm with some sheep, but she cannot be left alone with poultry.
Adoption fee $50. PLEASE NOTE TRAVEL TIME AND OUR LOCATION BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE ABOUT PEARL, we are not asking for a huge donation and will not travel to deliver her to you.
