Story
Katie is almost 7 years old, having spent her first 6 years in a puppy mill. She will require a human with patience and gentleness as sudden noises put her on alert. A home far away from fireworks would be best. She is fostered in a home with both dogs and cats & gets along with all.Earning her trust is not an immediate event, but once you do, she will want to be by your side nearly all the time. Her favorite place to eat is next to her human. As well as sleeping in the same bed."Outside" is becoming more familiar and knows doing her business outside makes her human happy. She also uses the pads inside and her groomer describes her as "a very good girl".Even though she hasn't really figured out "toys" yet, she is very treat motivated.She is being fostered in Hammond IndianaApply to adopt at nbstr.org

Story
Meet Ginger, a loving playful dog who's eager to find her new forever home.  Ginger spent the past 7 years in the same wonderful home after being adopted as a puppy from NBSTR.  Sadly, her owners had to move into assisted living and Ginger found herself needing a new place to call home. Ginger is a terrier mix, weighing in at a sturdy 30 lbs. Ginger adores kids and is a friend to everyone she meets - both human and canine. She is housebroken, making her an easy addition to any household. With her endearing long tongue that often sticks out, Ginger is sure to win your heart. She enjoys playing with toys, going for walks, laying next to her human, and is always ready for fun and games. She's great in the car and can adjust to any situation with ease. Most importantly, Ginger is very loving and will bring joy and affection to her new family. Come meet Ginger and give her the fresh start she deserves!  Ginger is being fostered in Lake Zurich, IL.
