About Ginger

Ginger is a one-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix in foster care and eager to find her forever home. She has a goofy streak and sports a lot of energy, so she needs an active adopter who’ll make sure she gets long walks, hikes, and a good game of fetch—with tennis balls as her favorite. Ginger’s leash skills keep improving, but she’ll need someone committed to routine and continued training to really thrive. Once she’s burned off her energy, Ginger is all about snuggling, with absolutely no concept of personal space—she’ll plaster herself right up against you for a nap. True to her Husky roots, Ginger likes to be vocal and expects plenty of attention, making her best suited for someone ready to include her in daily life. She prefers being the only animal in the home and isn’t a fit for families with young kids. Ginger needs an adopter who’s willing to keep up with her training and provide structure. She may ask a lot up front, but she gives even more in loyalty, love, and oddball charm. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
