Sweet little Ginger is 100% a Good Girl! You just have to meet her to understand how very good she is. She loves to lay in the sofa and watch everything going on around her.
Ginger has dry eyes. She has been seen by the veterinary ophthalmologist at University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center Small Animal Hospital. Her current medical plan includes using a daily sterile saline flush once per day, a topical lubricant twice a day & tacrolimus drops twice a day. She will need this for the rest of her life. Her eye meds cost about $20 a month.
The rest of her health & wellness check was unremarkable, she is healthy in all other areas.
Ginger has practically mastered her potty schedule. She doesn’t ‘signal’ to go outside, but she does know which door to go to. When taken out at regular intervals, she is very good at her potty duties. She should be taken out anytime she wakes from napping, first thing in the morning, and several times throughout the day, and before bed. Anytime there is a change in their routine, dogs need a moment to adjust.
We will be requiring a secure physical fence; she is not leash trained. She is learning to be on a leash & will need a lot more training. Since she will have to do potty duties immediately upon arriving at her new home, you will need a safe plan for that, therefore a fence is required.
Ginger would do best if she had a canine friend of similar size, she has enjoyed having friends in her foster home. Loud noises & sudden movements make her nervous. She would likely not be happy in a home with small children or puppies. She would do best in a quiet home where she can just relax with her family.
Please let us know if your home would provide the right Zen for Ginger to relax & snooze her days away!
