About Ginger

Meet Ginger, a 3-year-old retriever/hound mix in Point Richmond, CA with a golden coat and a blend of curiosity and affection that sets her apart. Weighing around 50 lbs, Ginger is playful and inquisitive, always eager to explore new sights and smells. She has a habit of sneaking in quick kisses and is especially fond of lounging on the couch after a long walk. Ginger is motivated by food and already knows sit, shake, and come, and she's working on "place" and "down." She’s crate trained, chooses her crate as a comfort spot, and settles there for the night without fuss. If you’re active and enjoy outdoor time, Ginger will be right by your side—ready for the next adventure or cozy snuggle session once back home. Ginger fits best with an adopter who can keep her engaged physically and mentally, provide routine training, and offer plenty of enrichment. She’s high-energy and will pull when overstimulated, so she needs someone patient, ready to help her practice good leash manners and who enjoys structure. Ginger cannot live with cats and will chase them, especially if she sees them from her crate, so a cat-free home is required. In return, she gives loyalty, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth.
