Meet Gina - Your Lucky Little Love Gina is a one-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a heart that's just beginning to shine. Weighing in at a perfect 38 lbs, this medium-sized beauty is the ideal companion for just about any home. Gina's journey hasn't been easy. She was surrendered to a rural shelter alongside her siblings when her beloved owner could no longer care for them due to dementia. Despite the sudden change, Gina has held onto her kind, loving nature-and now, in her foster home, she's slowly learning that the world can be a safe and happy place again. And oh, what a lovely world it becomes with Gina in it. She's incredibly sweet, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is friendly with cats-though she may let them take the lead (she might even be a little intimidated by them!). Her soft, cautious demeanor is blossoming into a playful, affectionate personality as she relaxes and feels more secure each day. Gina is already spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. She did test low positive for heartworm, but her treatment is already underway and fully covered by the rescue-she'll be good as new in no time. This fun-hearted girl is just waiting for someone to see her for the loving companion she is. With a little patience and a lot of love, Gina will reward her forever family with loyalty, sweetness, and quiet joy. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion to share your life with, Gina might just be your perfect match. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
