Notes: Serena is a playful sweet girl who loves people and gets along well with other dogs. She weighs 25-30 pounds and is about a year to a year and half old. She is not yet house trained. She loves to go for walks and walks well on leash. She does have a damaged right rear leg from an injury before she came to us. The bone is shattered but has healed and does not seem to cause her pain and she does use it. Serena came in with her sister who has already been adopted and now she is waiting for her own forever family. She should do well with children because she is fairly small and is gentle. Serena would love a family with a big fenced yard and some kids or another dog to run and play with and lots of attention when she is inside with her family.
This dog has been available for 38 days
