Chiquita

Chiquita/ Shakira is a sweet puppy whose birthday is on May 18, 2025. She has already received 2 out of 3 of her puppy shots at Petco and is growing into a happy, healthy companion. We’ve had the joy of loving her for about a month and a half, but due to our daughter’s school relocation and changing work schedule, we’re sadly unable to keep her. We’re hoping to find a caring family who will give her the same love and attention she’s received with us.
