About Shakira
Meet Shakira, the charming Staffy mix with a unique and endearing trait—she's cross-eyed! Despite her adorable oddity, Shakira's reduced vision can make new environments a bit overwhelming for her. However, once she warms up to her surroundings and the people in them, she reveals her true nature as a loving and happy companion.
At one year and one month old, Shakira is still a young pup with plenty of energy to spare. She enjoys daily walks and would thrive in an environment where she can engage in regular exercise. While she may get a bit excited when meeting other dogs, Shakira is friendly and playful, although she can be a bit rough at times. Any potential canine housemates would need to undergo a successful meet and greet to ensure compatibility.
Despite her initial nervousness, Shakira has a sweet and affectionate demeanor that shines through once she feels comfortable. She's the type of dog who enjoys settling down for some relaxation time, particularly in familiar environments like the reception room. To keep her safe, Shakira will require secure 6-foot fencing and a home where there are no dog barks to further ease her nerves. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion with a unique charm, Shakira could be the perfect match for you!
