About Ginger

Meet Ginger, an endearing senior who still brings the lively spirit of a puppy. Ginger prefers life as an only pet—she isn’t one to share her people or her prized possessions, and she makes that quite clear. Her days are split between bursts of playfulness and plenty of snuggling; she’ll let you know if you try to end either on her before she’s ready, but she responds to gentle direction with ease. Because Ginger values her personal space and doesn’t want to share, a home without children is best. Her health needs a bit of attention: she has a history of struvite crystals and should be monitored for flareups. She also requires lifelong prescription eye ointment for dry eye, though otherwise she’s in solid shape for her age. A patient, firm leader who craves affection and can appreciate Ginger’s quirks will find her a devoted companion. Ready to start an adventure in Newport, KY with a one-of-a-kind senior?
