Meet Princess Serena, a sweet girl who was abandoned in a crate inside an empty apartment. When the landlord found her, he let her loose on the street and said he would not deal with her. Thankfully, a Good Samaritan witnessed what happened and immediately stepped in to get Serena to safety. Now with NYC Second Chance Rescue, Princess Serena is ready for the loving home she always deserved. She is looking for someone who will give her the patience, care, and love she was denied. Every animal’s bio is only a snapshot of who they are. To learn more about Princess Serena and see if she may be the right fit for your home, please reach out to our Adoptions Team.

🧠 Temperament
Meet Princess Serena, a sweet girl who was abandoned in a crate inside an empty apartment. Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans.
🎾 Exercise
High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets. They are strong and benefit from structured training.
✂️ Grooming
Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
When the landlord found her, he let her loose on the street and said he would not deal with her. The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance.
