Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Serena is a very gentle dog. She was very tired when she first arrived from the shelter and spent a lot of time sleeping on the couch. She seems to feel a lot better now and has come out of her shell, although in general she is a very mellow dog. Serena likes to play outside, she is great with other dogs, she really seems to enjoy being around other dogs. She will play bow, run around and wag her tail, but she also really likes to curl up on the couch. Serena is a perfect winter companion in Minnesota because she will keep you warm and curl up to you for hours and hours. She is a very patient girl, she will accept your affection anytime but doesn't demand it. She is so lovable that when she looks up at you with those brown eyes, we find ourselves drawn to her. She is potty trained and is kenneled while we are at work, we have left her out for short periods of time when we aren't home and she does great. Serena is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs about 37.5 pounds. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed.
All dogs are spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday November 29, 2014, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
