Like Guinea Pig Fun's Jasmine and Jo and Dutch's Tiny Tim, Pearl is a rescued guinea pig. However, her story is different from Jasmine's and Tim's in that she is a special-needs guinea pig, with immediate medical needs, who was rescued from abusive and neglectful conditions in a pet store. The pet store currently has two lawsuits pending against it and this incident was reported to the humane society. Therefore there is no information on Pearl's website about the pet store or her rescue.

This website has been created so that others may follow the healing process and treatment of Pearl, a young female baby who is a lethal. A lethal is the result of a Roan bred to Roan or a Dalmatian bred to Dalmatian. The all white, pink-eyed guinea pigs often have deformities and medical problems such as malocclusion and blindness. (Although all lethals are pink-eyed whites, not all pink-eyed whites are lethals.) Many times they do not live very long. Dori's story has been included so that others may learn more about lethals and the hazards of irresponsible breeding.

Like Jasmine's and Tiny Tim's websites, this website is a tribute to Pearl and a symbol of hope to all of the other critters who have suffered or still suffer from abuse or neglect or ill-breeding.
