Shakira D70383 - Collie and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Shakira, and I am from Louisiana!

I may be older, but if you scratch my back in the right spot - my hips don't lie! That's why they named me Shakira! I'm a laid back gal but I still have a lot of life left in me. My favorite thing to do is play fetch & go on walks. My love language includes a tennis ball! I am completely potty trained, I know all my commands, & I love car rides! I get along great with other dogs & cats. I love kids who give me lots of pets & want to snuggle. I'm the perfect smaller size where I don't take up too much room but I do like to lay on someone's lap! I'm looking for a loving home to enjoy my golden years & share my favorite activities with me (did I already say fetch?).
