🏡🙏🏻 FOR ADOPTION — PERLA 🦪❤️
Please take a few minutes to read Perla’s story to the end.
When we moved to our current location in August 2021, every dog in our care came with us.
Among them were Perla and Stoker.
More than four years later, incredibly, they are both still here waiting.
Perla, a blue and white Staffy cross, was originally found wandering in the countryside with a young male dog.
They were taken to private kennels and initially shared an enclosure, but it soon became clear that the male was very dominant and his behaviour towards Perla was becoming aggressive.
We were asked if we could take Perla into Sunny Shores, and of course we agreed.
When she arrived, Perla was understandably nervous around both people and other dogs.
Her physical condition, along with the obvious signs that she had been used for breeding, suggested that life hadn't always been particularly kind to her.
We gave her time.
Slowly we gained her trust, and as the weeks and months passed, her confidence began to grow.
Eventually, we introduced her to our Stoker, a large male American Bully who we knew to be calm, sociable and non-aggressive.
They immediately got along and eventually moved into a shared pen, where they have remained companions ever since.
But now it really is Perla's turn.
Nearly six years old, Perla is still waiting for the one thing she has never had — a home and family of her own.
Perla is neutered, microchipped and has a full EU Pet Passport.
She will also be fully re- tested for all Mediterranean diseases before she leaves.
We feel she would thrive in a calm home, possibly as an only dog, although she could potentially live alongside a calm, easy-going male.
Whatever happened during Perla's early years will always be part of her story, but it doesn't define the dog she is today.
With time, patience, love and experience, she has become a wonderful dog to be around.
She loves her walks.
She loves human company.
And after spending so much of her life in kennels, she deserves the opportunity to discover all the ordinary things most dogs take for granted — a comfortable bed, a home, companionship and someone who is there for her every day.
We won't pretend that Perla is a dog who will simply walk through the door and immediately understand family life.
There will be things she has never experienced before and things she will need help and reassurance with.
But if you're someone who enjoys watching a dog learn, grow and discover new sights, smells and sounds, the rewards will be enormous.
Here at Sunny Shores, we have taken Perla as far as we can.
Now she needs someone to take that next step with her and give her the chance to reach her full potential.
After more than four years of waiting, we really hope 2026 can finally be Perla's year ❤️
