My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ginger, a bright and bouncy 21 pound 6-month-old mixed-breed pup who’s ready to start her next chapter! This sweet and super-smart girl was surrendered when her energy levels proved too much for the cats and kiddos in the home. Her previous family did an amazing job socializing and caring for her -- she is affectionate, eager to please, and always excited for whatever comes next.

Ginger is playful, highly food-motivated, and already ahead of the curve. She’s been to puppy class and did wonderfully, showing off just how quick she is to learn. As with all adolescents, she’ll benefit from continued training as she grows, and she’ll make it fun with her enthusiasm and sharp mind.

She’s looking for an active home that appreciates the joy of an energetic young dog. Ginger will thrive with people who can keep both her body and brain busy through exercise, enrichment, and positive training. If you’re ready for a sweet, clever companion who will reward your effort with love and laughter, Ginger might be your perfect match!
