Meet Pearl, an elegant combo of Siberian husky and German shepherd (and possibly others). She is 2-and-a-half years old and weighs 53 pounds, with a white coat that fits the fashion for any occasion and different-colored eyes that are just mesmerizing. She is a sweetheart, especially if you float a few extra treats her way. Pearl can get a little overwhelmed with other dogs around and would prefer to have a family all to herself. She is good with kids however, so bring any youngsters in the home to meet her at the Dallas Animal Care Center. SPCA.org/Adoptable/Pearl-2.
