Story
Meet Sweet Serenity!     You’d be hard-pressed to find a dog sweeter than Serenity. She truly lives up to her name with her gentle and loving nature. It’s heartbreaking to think that anyone could have neglected such a precious soul.   Serenity is a petite 4-year-old, weighing just 11 lbs. She was found wandering as a stray north of Nashville, but even after her profile was shared on every lost-and-found pet site, no one stepped forward for her. One possible reason is an old injury to her right front leg—a break above the joint between her foot and leg that never healed quite right. While her foot now lacks proper support for walking, the injury isn’t painful and doesn’t seem to slow her down. Serenity often shifts her weight to her other legs and has become an expert at the charming Maltese trick of dancing on her hind legs.   Serenity is guaranteed to make you smile—she’s a true trooper with a resilient spirit. She gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and is also friendly with cats. This little lady is an excellent car rider and will be a delightful companion for any outing. Her irresistible charm is sure to help you make plenty of new friends wherever you go.   If you’re searching for the perfect little canine companion, Serenity is the one. She’s up to date on all her vaccines, heartworm negative, and spayed. To learn more about making Serenity part of your family, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Don’t wait—this sweet girl is sure to find her forever home quickly.    October 5, 2026, 3:30 pm
