Ginger’s spirit is hard to capture, but those who meet her get it immediately. Rescued alongside her puppies from Houston’s streets, Ginger fought through distemper and came out the other side with an unwavering will and a gentle, loyal heart. There are some lingering tics from her illness, small jerky movements that don’t hold her back a bit—she’s all about darting across the yard and playing chase with other dogs. Playtime is her favorite; she gets along well with dogs of all ages and sizes, and she enjoys having a canine friend around. Ginger is shy at first and stays pretty mellow, happier curled up close or trotting beside her people than making a fuss. She forms deep, quiet bonds that last. Her coat is softer than you’d expect—it’s something you have to feel to believe. Ginger welcomes a slow introduction and a trial period for any family who thinks she might fit in. She’s all heart, ready for a home that matches her loyalty. Your new best friend is just one click away.
