About Ginny

Meet Ginny. She’s sharp, athletic, and practically buzzes with energy. With her likely Malinois roots, Ginny brings a clever edge to everything she does. She has a naturally protective streak but quickly settles in and becomes friendly around new people. As a family dog, Ginny holds her own—her tolerance with children shines through, and she keeps everyone on their toes (and the faces of toddlers neatly cleaned). Dogs of any size are her jam; toss her into a pack at the dog park or daycare, and she blends right in. Ginny runs off-leash on trails and doesn’t skip a beat when it comes to recall, making her a solid candidate for anyone who loves the outdoors. She needs a home prepared for her drive—if her days are idle, Ginny will quickly invent her own mischief. She’s just starting to enjoy fetch and would seriously thrive in any agility class. Being the "life of the party," she’ll bring fun and chaos in equal measure. Part of Ginny’s adoption fee has been sponsored, making it a little easier to welcome her home. She’s fostered in Union Grove, WI. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
