My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

SHAKIRA
1 year


Attributes
Dog friendly
Needs another dog
Housetrained
Crate trained
Likes car rides
Potties on leash
High energy



Shakira is a one-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a playful spark. She came to us as a stray and was understandably very nervous at first, unsure if people could be trusted. While she still needs time to warm up to new faces, once you earn her trust, she gives it wholeheartedly. Shakira forms deep bonds and will love you like no other.

She's happiest snuggled up on the couch with her favorite humans or zooming around the yard, soaking up life with joy. Shakira absolutely loves her dog foster brothers, so having another playful dog in the home is a must for her—she thrives with a canine companion to help build her confidence and burn off energy.

Shakira is potty trained, crate trained, and highly food motivated, which makes her a quick learner. She's high energy but knows how to settle and relax, especially after playtime or a good walk. One of her most endearing traits is how excited she gets to greet her favorite humans in the morning—her happiness is contagious.

She does well with small children once she gets to know them, but she can be a bit nervous around teenagers and may need patience and gentle introductions. Shakira loves going on walks and is learning her leash manners, though she's still prone to the occasional sudden lurch when an interesting smell catches her attention.

With patience, love, and a playful dog sibling by her side, Shakira will blossom into an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion. She's a special girl just waiting for the right home to truly shine.

NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

More about this rescue

Midwest Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare, Inc is a 501(c)3 non profit, all-volunteer organization located in the Midwest, funded by donations and dedicated to rescuing beagles from high-kill shelters. Our foster homes provide loving temporary care until we are able to find them well matched, carefully screened forever homes. By working with local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities we are able to give proper medical care to the beagles in our program. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition. We adopt beagles to families within Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, western Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and have also placed beagles into loving homes in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.
