Shakira's Story

âœ ̈ Meet the Sisters! âœ ̈ Shakira, Sofia, and Cristina are three beautiful 18-month-old sisters (40–47 lbs) rescued from Puerto Rico. These girls were abandoned as tiny puppies in the mountains, but they’ve grown into gentle, loving dogs with so much affection to give. They are sweet-natured, friendly, and get along wonderfully with other dogs. Each one has her own charm, but all three share the same gentle spirit and grateful heart. Now they’re ready to leave their past behind and find the forever families they deserve. Could one of these island beauties be your new best friend?

Island Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

After completing our brief online application we will talk with you to learn more about you, your lifestyle and your ideal pet so that we can match you with the perfect dog or cat. We may request a virtual tour of your home or, in some cases, an in person tour. Meet and greets are done with the foster at a location agreed upon. After a successful meet and greet, you can choose to start a trial adoption that will last up to 5 days. After the trial adoption we will either finalize the adoption or return the animal to our foster program. We have a trainer and behavorist that are part of our volunteer team should they be needed to successfully transition your new pet into your home.
