She came to us at just 3 weeks old after her mom was tragically hit by a car, and she has been showing her brave spirit ever since. Shakira was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a neurological condition that affects balance and coordination. The good news is that CH is not progressive, it will never get worse. In fact, many pups like Shakira improve as they grow, and she’s already made wonderful progress! While she’s still a little wobbly, it doesn’t slow her down one bit. Shakira eats and drinks just fine, and she LOVES to run, play, and zoom around with her friends. She adores attention, giving kisses, and snuggling up to anyone who will love her back. She’s great with both people and other dogs, making her the perfect companion for a family who will embrace her just the way she is. Shakira’s wobble is part of her charm, and she’s looking for someone with a big heart who sees her for the happy, playful, affectionate pup she truly is. Could that be you? If you are interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application. Adoption fee: $75
