About Ginger

Ginger is a charming Australian Shepherd puppy born at the end of November. She's the embodiment of her breed: sweet, loyal, and undeniably smart. With an abundance of energy, she craves an outlet for her herding instincts and is eager to engage in activities that keep her stimulated. She thrives best in a home that can provide ample space and exercise. While experience with working breeds is a plus, it isn’t mandatory. A yard for her to run and play would make her very happy. Ginger gets along well with other dogs, although her herding tendencies might keep them on their toes. In her foster home, she's done well with the 10-year-old child, but she hasn't been around younger kids yet. Though she’s already crate trained and making progress with house training, she can still use puppy pads if needed. If you're on the hunt for a high-energy pup who believes imaginary flocks of sheep need herding, Ginger could be the perfect match for you! She's spayed, vaccinated, and ready for adoption for a fee of $700—all of which helps cover her medical needs. Ginger is currently being fostered in Hilton, NY. What are you waiting for?
