In China, the dog meat trade is still very much in operation. Even in those places where it has been forbidden, backyard farmers and butchers continue to operate. Dogs are subjected to horrible living conditions. Slaughterhouse Survivors, for example, strives its hardest to rescue as many dogs as possible.
When Pearl was discovered on a meat truck, she had no legs and her skin was infested with mange. The sick little girl needed intensive medical treatment as well as affection. Pearl’s saviors weren’t sure whether she’d survive, but they wouldn’t give up hope.
Pearl was able to stay alive! Her bravery and tenacity inspired other canines around her to continue fighting! Two months after being removed from the meat truck, Pearl was ready to fly to America to meet her new foster parent. She was transferred by Road Dogs and Rescue.
At the airport, Leah’s foster mom was overjoyed to see her. Their bond was instant. Pearl was ready to meet her foster siblings next. They greeted her with open arms. While they got acquainted and Pearl had a little fun, Leah observed that she struggled to walk about because of her hips. Her hips weren’t functioning properly, so walking with three legs put a strain on them.
The second stage was assessing adoption applications. Ashley’s application stood out. She’s a kind lady and also a veterinarian, as well as a volunteer who volunteered to take Pearl from California to the east coast. It was bittersweet saying goodbye, but Leah knew that Pearl was eager to meet her new mother on the west coast.
Pearl, along with two other dogs, started their road trip with a bang. She’s such a chill, laidback dog that she accepted the long hours in the car as well as their stops in hotel rooms with her new friends.
They showed up at Cheryl’s house in Allentown a few days later. Ashley flew from New York to meet her new addition. Pearl had no idea how ecstatic everyone was for her to start her new life. But she would soon find out! According to the video below, “Pearl is a lovely creature” and deserves the best life possible.
As soon as Ashley got to Cheryl’s home and could finally hold Pearl in her arms, it felt as if they were always meant to be family. Now it was time to put her in the car and drive her back to New York. Pearl has undoubtedly visited some of the most beautiful places on earth, but now she is ready for a permanent residence and a new life.
Once they got to the apartment, Ashley allowed Pearl to settle in. Then she presented Janet, her new sibling, to Pearl. The two dogs did their usual sniffing and greeting routine. After their meeting, Pearl quickly adapted. She even knew which bed was hers and fell asleep right away.
Ashley has decided to put Pearl in treatment and see whether a prosthetic limb would help her walk better. It’s amazing how this tiny dog, who was destined for slaughter, went from knocking on death’s door to living her best life halfway across the world. These tales serve as reminders that animals are fierce warriors. In the video below, you’ll see how far Pearl’s adoption journey has come so far!
