Serena von Schwaan is a gorgeous 3-4 year old German Shepherd. Meet Serena, the love bug who’s looking for a place to call home—the desert she was abandoned in was hardly a place to call home. She recently gave birth to her puppies. Now that her puppies have left the nest, she’s looking for a new family to love and nurture—Is it you? Her personality is the perfect mix of happy and mellow. She’s mid-energy, so she’s always up for an outing or socializing, but also knows how to kick back and relax. Her love for treats is exceeded only by her love for attention from her main people and passerbys. Serena takes treats gently, much like how she interacts with people and dogs. She’s also a social butterfly, getting along fabulously with the dogs she meets. (She is currently sharing space with several other dogs at the rescue, so she'd be a good choice to add to your pack if you are a multi-pup home.) It seems like her tail is always wagging; if you look up “happy-go-lucky” in the dictionary, don’t be surprised to see this 76-pound, certified cutie pie. If you’re searching for a sweet, well-rounded dog who’s ready to give and receive all the love in the world, come meet Serena!
