Shakira's Story

Hello! I'm Shakira and my hips don't lie. I'm 1 year old and I love, love people. I'm looking for a home where I can be an integral part of your family. I will give you kisses any chance I get. My foster mom says I'm the nicest dog she's ever met (way nicer than her fur kids).<br/><br/>I am potty-trained and crate-trained. I'm food motivated and will run into my crate at mealtime to wait for my meals. My foster mom uses my food motivation to get in a little daily training, so currently I know sit (and sientate - I'm sort of bilingual), come (aqui), shake hands - both of them (dame la pata y otra pata), lay down (abajo), crate, out (like when my foster mom doesn't want me in the kitchen), off (like furniture if I'm not supposed to be on) and I'm working on stay. I'm calm for baths, ear cleanings, nail trimming and getting my behind wiped after I poop. The Dogwalker that comes by when foster mom goes to work also says I'm well behaved.<br/><br/>I get along with my two foster bulldog siblings, and the three of us like to sunbathe outside daily. While I'm a young pup with energy, I've also learned the ways of my bulldog siblings, so I'm good at being a lounge lizard, too. I've also been to the homes of my foster mom's friends, and I get along with their pups as well. So far, I've been around older kids, but not young ones. I've only been around dogs, so I'm not sure how I am with cats and other critters.<br/><br/>My foster mom will send the rescue some of my training videos, so if you're interested, please ask to see them.<br/><br/>Also, if you're an UT alum, I hope you noticed my burnt orange coloring and my longhorn logo on my neck!<br/><br/>Shakira is a female Pitbull mix with an estimated date of birth of 1/1/25. As of 3/21/26, she weighs about 40 lbs.

K-9 Angels Rescue's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION FEEs: CASH or CHECK ONLY DOGS $200 ($275 for Puppies) - includes spay/neuter alteration, shots, microchip, medicines and other medical procedures, if necessary. OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS: Due to the Coronavirus we are suspending out of state adoptions until further notice. Our puppies can only be adopted to the immediate Houston vicinity as it takes 4 months for complete vetting by our Houston veterinarian. We have been inundated with too many applications and, going forward, we will only review applications for people who currently have a dog or who have had a dog where the vet reference is in THE APPLICANT's name. We are unable to respond to email inquiries and requests for updates as we do not have the staff or capacity to handle all the emails/applications we are receiving. We will contact you via email with approvals and/or requests should we need additional information. When we reopen for adoptions it will be by appointment only for pre-approved adopters with good vet references. We will continue to do 3rd and 4th vaccinations for any previously adopted puppies from 10am-12pm on Saturdays at the adoption center. Please follow instructions upon your arrival there.
