Story
Searching for a soulmate who thinks your personal space is a myth? Meet Shakira, the tiny Hips Don't Lie honey who is ready to dance her way right into your heart! Shakira isn't just a dog; she’s a portable love bug who has never met a stranger in her life. If you have a face, she has a kiss ready for it, and she’s currently accepting applications for a permanent lap to occupy. She is the ultimate people person in a fuzzy body, seeking out her humans for reassurance and snuggles like it’s her full time job. Whether you’re folding laundry or watching a movie, expect a small, devoted fan following your every move! High levels of cuteness ahead! You have to see her tail wags in action check out her adoption video below! https://youtu.be/lh2NXLRkBDE Shakira is what we call a Velcro Dog, and she wears the title with pride! She is truly special because of her unwavering devotion; she doesn't just want to be in the same room as you, she wants to be part of your soul (or at least your backpack). She is the perfect hang out companion who thrives on human connection. We suspect this black and white beauty is a Schnauzer mix! Shakira is only 19lbs making her the perfect travel size companion. She is small, compact, and incredibly easy to take on adventures, whether you're hitting a cafe or just the backyard. Of course, as with all rescues, her breed mix is our best "educated guess," but her 100% sweetheart status is a verified fact! In her foster home, Shakira has proven to be the ultimate houseguest. She is super gentle and thrives in an environment where she can give plenty of love & kisses to her favorite humans. She’s the type of pup who would be just as happy in a busy family home as she would be in a quiet, pampered life with an older couple. As long as there are humans to worship, Shakira is a happy camper! When it comes to other dogs, Shakira is a gentle player who prefers friends who match her polite energy. She’d do best with a medium to low energy dog sibling who isn't too pushy. She likes her personal bubbles respected, but she’s always down for a calm stroll around the room! How does she feel about feline friends? Well, Shakira has made her verdict clear: she’d prefer to be the only star of the show! She is so focused on her humans that she’d much rather have all your attention to herself no cats for this lady, please The best part about Shakira? She’s adaptable! Whether you have a big grassy yard for her to explore or a cozy apartment for her to patrol, she’s going to thrive. Her ideal home is anywhere her humans are. She’s the perfect match for someone who wants a constant companion to share their life (and maybe their snacks) with. Shakira is a cuddly, sweet, and incredibly affectionate little soul who just wants to belong. She’s gentle, loving, and ready to be your most loyal sidekick. If you're looking for a dog who will truly love you with every fiber of her being, Shakira is your girl! It’s in her name the love doesn’t lie! Ready to start the best chapter of your life?

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sir Knight of the Squeaky Toy – Ready for Adoption! Hear ye, hear ye! Allow us to introduce Knight, a 1-year-old Schnauzer mix with the heart of a hero and the goofiness of a court jester. This handsome young lad may not come with armor, but he does carry toys around like prized treasures and is always ready for a grand adventure. Knight’s favorite royal duties include chasing toys, playing with his doggy friends, and then retiring to the castle (aka your couch) where he can transform into a professional lap dog. While he can be a little timid at first, once he knows you’re a friend and not a dragon, his sweet and loving personality shines brighter than a knight’s polished shield. This goofy boy would love a home with a yard where he can gallop around practicing his zoomies and defending the kingdom from suspicious squirrels. He’s fun, affectionate, and guaranteed to keep you smiling with his silly antics. If your castle is missing a loyal companion with a big heart and a love for toys, Knight is ready to ride into your life and claim his throne… preferably on your lap. &#226&#154&#148&#239&#184&#143 Adoption Fee: $400 Transport Available: Northeast & Midwest for $250 Apply to adopt your noble companion at: www.adoggie4you.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:30 pm
