Little Gifts Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I am constantly amazed at how forgiving and resiliant dogs are. From those first photos by Carlo to those by Kelscats now she is always looking as content and happy as she can be given her health issues. She has always seemed to have such a beautiful nature so I can't fathom why her original owners wouldn't have wanted the best for such a wonderful dog? And not only neighbours didn't do anything about her long and painful neglect neither did any visitors to that home until Carlo. That shocks me a little. I can only imagine what a horrible end she would've had if left there - probably her uterus infection would've slowly and painfully killed her. Both of you are amazing for all the effort you have been putting in to return her to the best health possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of you are amazing for all the effort you have been putting in to return her to the best health possible. The neighbours were of the same ilk as them so it doesnt really surprise me . . .its a high poverty area of high crime rates,squalid houses inhabited by drug users . . .can you see the picture clearer? Everybody surrounding that property is only living for themselves . . .for their next fix or their next rob and bash spree.A dog isnt of any worth to them whatsoever. I found an older chap further up the street who is reclusive and hates living there but has no other options.He told me there was a wild party at a property across from the one Pearl came from.Things got so bad with drink and drugs and in the chaos,some men took a dog and hung it to its death on the front balcony.I dont really doubt he is telling the truth and it is because of Pearl and dogs like her who havent been found yet that I have now entered rescue with a local reputable group. When and if I come across another dog like Pearl,ill have no hesitation in getting them out of a bad situation.None whatsoever. Im following Pearls further progress and it will be the cherry on top when she gets a DECENT home! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polgara's Shadow Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Yay Pearl She's looking fab Kelscats! Her muscle tone in particular looks much improved . Hope the desex goes well. Carlo11 - that area sounds like it has some intense social issues. So glad you got her outta there Edited March 17, 2012 by Polgara's Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melinda10786 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Its been awhile since the last update for Pearl, any chance of some new photos and an update on how she's going? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelscats Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi All, Sorry yes it has been awhile since i have updated Pearl's thread. Pearl is doing really well, she is very happy and has improved so much, she is still going steady on her meds and her skin is improving everyday and she is now 26.5kg so we are happy with that and hoping to keep her in that range. Pearl loves my dogs and they all get along really well but alas she does try and eat the cats so sometimes that makes it a bit hard here with 3 cats. I have a wonderful home lined up for pearl with a family from Sydney that have a 12 yr old desexed Male Bulldog and a 14 yr old Foxi and NO CATS so its pefect for her. The family are lovely and are so excited to meet her which should be this weekend so if all that goes well then in a couple of weeks she will be off to her new home Here are some photo's i took of Pearl half and hr ago ;) You can see here that her hair is growing back nicely, it's taken a long time but its getting there!

Pattycake Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) She is looking great..... and I hope it all works out well with her new home. Edited March 30, 2012 by Pattycake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Oh congratulations - she is just beautiful. Her patchy coat reminds me of a westie we rehomed a couple of years ago - he had completely lost his coat on his badly infected rump - it was red raw. He went to the most brilliant home and is now unrecognisable as the underweight, scrawny, see-through coat waif he was when we first got him. So I wish a home for Pearl like we found for Eddie! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazydoglady Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have been following Pearl's story for some time, and I am so happy that she is going to a loving home! She is truly lucky to have been found and rescued by such wonderful and loving people. She looks so very happy, for probably the first time in her life, and feels loved and safe. Her beautiful face brings tears to my eyes as she looks loved! So expressive and intelligent. I really do hope that you two are proud of what you have done for Pearl. She has come such a long way and you really deserve to be commended. I re-read both her threads and am having a little cry for her, as she deserves that too. I just want to smoosh her gorgeous face! Good luck, Pearl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo11 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My fingers are crossed for Pearl.Her eyes were always so expressive right from the first day although it took a while for happiness to come into them.Please let us know how her interview goes . . .she only takes the best applicants ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Pearl is important - she has made me look very differently at bulldogs She really has the most beautiful and honest face ! if she gets her new home, I hope her owners know of her fan club here...and maybe even join us with a few updates ??? Happiness,with a corkscrew tail.... Damn dust in my eyes.... Edited March 31, 2012 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happiness,with a corkscrew tail.... Damn dust in my eyes.... Thank You all for your love and support of Pearl, i will definatly be asking for updates you don't have to worry about that! She won't be able to go to her new home today ( if they decide to adopt her ) she will be with me for another 2 weeks at least. Bulldogs are beautiful pets i love everything about them. Here is a before and after picture of my girl LULU that i adopted from the pound November 2010 in a mess. She to was used as a breeder and dumped at 6.5 yrs of age The day i got LULU she was underweight at 25kg LULU now at 32.5kg Edited April 1, 2012 by kelscats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelscats Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 PEARL HAS FOUND HER FOREVER HOME :thumbsup: The family were really lovely and they loved her right from the start, she loved them aswell and was really good when meeting them. They had a game of ball and spent time cuddling her and she enjoyed every minute of it! I'm very happy with her new family and i think Pearl is to. At this stage she will be leaving me next weekend after she has been to the vet through the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
