#13593 Serena (Athlete Pups)

Energy Level 3 - Enjoys walks, mental stimulation, and some playtime.

Greetings! My name is Serena, just like the tennis champ. Foster mom says I am a champion too – she says she is pretty sure I would take a blue ribbon in the category “Best Pups Available For Adoption on the East Coast of the United States of America.” A ribbon is fine; I just hope it comes with a frozen marrow bone. A pup can dream, and I dream BIG. Would you like to be a part of my dream? Come on in!

Foster mom has learned that Serena is:

-Super smart – in just the past week she (a) is quickly becoming housetrained and will potty almost immediately on command on regular outings; (b) will sit and is getting better at wait; and (c) is learning not to jump up on people and not to counter surf.
-Super sweet and affectionate, and loves to make new friends with humans and other pups.
-Great on walks; she loves being outdoors and running free (although she checks back in regularly to make sure foster mom is still there).
-Gentle as a lamb, and just as playful. She has coaxed foster mom’s grumpy 10-year old GSD into playing with her which is a gold medal first!
-Brave – she generally embraces new experiences and new places with only an appropriate amount of caution.
-Loves riding in the car – she settles down and starts to snooze within the first few minutes.

Serena just recently transitioned to a new foster home and is quickly learning to operate solo, including staying quietly in her crate or loose while alone. She continues to sleep quietly through the night secured in her crate.

Serena is guessed to be an Anatolian Shepherd mix, born on December 20, 2023. Based on her mother’s size, she likely will top out in the 50-55 pound range when fully grown. She has not been tested with cats, but has not displayed a high prey drive while walking in the forest.
