About Serenity

Meet Serenity, a three-year-old Coonhound mix seeking a calm and loving home to help her flourish. Currently overwhelmed in the shelter, she displays some anxiety, yet beneath that stress lies a sweet nature eager to learn and connect. She's good with dogs and older kids, but curious about cats. Serenity is food motivated, making her eager to pick up commands. Though still figuring out how to engage in play, she enjoys toys and is gradually embracing her doggy instincts. With her big, velvet ears and soulful eyes, she often seems deep in thought, waiting for her perfect person to find her. A strong handler will be essential as she tends to pull on her leash when anxious. Serenity doesn't need a perfect owner but rather someone patient who can help her decompress and reveal her true personality. With the right environment and understanding, she will show the wonderful companion she can be. Ready to give Serenity the love she deserves? Apply today!
