🌟 Meet Serena, a gentle soul who is ready to steal your heart! 🌟 At just 1½ years old and weighing 42.6 lbs, Serena’s life has been a quiet journey filled with hope. This beautiful girl is a bit shy at first; she takes her time to assess the world around her before she decides it’s safe to let you in. But oh, once she trusts you, her heart opens wide, and you can feel the love pouring out! 💖 Behind those soft, timid eyes lies a spirit more loving than you could ever imagine. Serena craves gentle hands to pet her, sweet voices to reassure her, and a warm space in your home that she can finally call hers. She’s particularly fond of toys, and nothing brings her more joy than a simple game — especially when there’s someone cheering her on! 🎉 Serena gets along fabulously with other dogs, and having a confident canine companion would make her blossom even more beautifully. All she needs is a patient human who understands that building trust is a journey! 🌈 Speaking of journeys, did you know that the average adoption fee where she resides usually covers everything? Well, Serena’s adoption fee is only $40 and comes with all the necessities: her spay, rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines, a fecal test for parasites, basic dewormer, and a full vet exam. It’s truly everything she needs to start her new life healthy, happy, and loved! 🏡 Serena has been so patient, waiting for that special someone to see her for the gentle, loyal heart she is. Would you be the one to give her story the happy ending it deserves? ✨ If your heart beats a little faster at the thought of meeting Serena, be sure to *apply through the Buddy App* today and help this lovely lady find her forever home! 🐾 And remember, adopting isn’t just about bringing an animal home; it’s about making a new friend for life! 🌻
