About Ginny

Ginny is ready to steal your heart! This adorable 3 year old pocket pittie is equal parts sweetheart and social butterfly. Ginny is currently on a healthy weight-loss journey and making great progress with the help of her foster family. Her ideal weight is about 45lb. Ginny is potty trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on leash. She's also incredibly food motivated, eager to learn, and already knows her basic obedience skills. While she previously lived as an only dog, Ginny is thriving with a canine companion in her foster home and would likely love a dog sibling in her forever family. Cats are unknown, and she's done with great with kids. Ginny is a very special girl with a unique condition called ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin disorder that causes her skin cells to turn over much faster than normal. Because of this, she experiences dry, flaky skin and produces more dandruff than the average dog. While there's no cure for ichthyosis, it can be managed with consistent care and a good routine. Ginny is currently doing well with a combination of a quality diet, regular grooming, and close attention to her skin health. Her foster family bathes her twice weekly using Duoxo Pyo S3 shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner, along with daily brushing to help keep her comfortable and her coat healthy. Despite her extra skincare needs, Ginny is affectionate, friendly, and happiest when she's with her people. If you're looking for a lovable companion with a big personality packed into a compact frame, Ginny might just be your perfect match.
