Brains, Bounce, and a Job to Do

Serrano is a lively, intelligent dog bringing together a sharp mind and an eager-to-please attitude. With his sturdy build, upright ears, and striking coat of red and tan with darker patches, he carries himself with an alert and confident presence.

This high-energy boy thrives when he has a job, whether that’s exploring trails, joining playgroups with other dogs, or practicing his skills. He already knows “sit,” walks on leash, and enjoys showing off his tricks—especially when treats are involved. Serrano is very food-motivated, which makes continued training both fun and rewarding.
He’s a wiggly, affectionate companion who enjoys engaging with people and naturally checks in during walks and activities, making him a great partner for someone who values connection and interaction. Serrano also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys social time with his canine friends.

Serrano would do best with an active home ready to provide both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep him happy and fulfilled.
If you’re looking for a smart, energetic companion to share your adventures and daily routines, Serrano is ready to step into that role. Reach out to learn more about adopting or fostering him.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
