The main purpose of the Providing Emotional Assistance with Relief and Love Act, also known as the PEARL Act, is to create a program within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that adopts dogs from local animal shelters. These dogs will be trained as support animals to assist CBP personnel. The key provisions of this act include the establishment of a pilot program that must be set up within 60 days of the law being enacted. This program will focus on adopting shelter dogs and training them for use in CBP's Support Canine Program.
