Boxer mix Pearl did not have an easy start to life. Most likely kept for breeding purposes, or as a junkyard dog, she was cruelly abandoned along with her puppies at a shelter. Even more heartrendingly, the person who abandoned her requested that the dog and puppies be euthanized. Luckily, Florida based Rags to Riches Animal Rescue stepped in to help the canine family. The rescue hopes that they will be able to help Pearl find a loving home to spend the rest of her life in. Although Pearl has a difficult past, a video posted to @ragstorichesanimalrescu on TikTok shows how sweet and loving she still is.
