Serenity and the kittens have received offers for adoption, but staff members said they're trying to select the best home for the pup and the kittens – although the kittens are not old enough to be on their own. They're with a foster family and will be there until they're adopted. Serenity is available for adoption Dec. 3. See the shelter's posts below.
