My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Found as a stray, Serena is now seeking a loving home through adoption. Her social nature and active spirit make her an ideal addition to an active or semi-active home setting. Overall, she seems to be a very loyal and obedient lady. She knows, "sit", "down", "paw", "catch", and "drop it"
Serena seems to be noise sensitive and unsure of fast movements at the rescue. She would benefit from being in a home with someone who has previous training experience and someone who can provide love and positive reinforcement due to all of the changes in her life recently. We think that she would be most happy in a somewhat quiet home where she can relax after a good day of fun.

Age: 4 years
Other dogs: Yes
Cats: Yes
Kids: 15+
Weight: 62 pounds
Leash Behavior: Walks fairly well on leash. Pulls sometimes but is responsive

If you are interested in adopting Serena please fill out our online application. Once your application has been reviewed and approved we will work with you to schedule an appointment.
Please no "drop-ins" to view dogs without an appointment.
All High Sierra Animal Rescue dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate shots, micro-chipped, tested for heart worm, given heart worm preventative medication each month, and de-wormed.
