About Gingersnap

Gingersnap is a sweet and scruffy girl in search of a fresh start and plenty of love! At around three years old, she’s a mixed breed of Schnauzer and Terrier, weighing approximately 12 lbs. She currently lives at a South Carolina shelter and needs a foster or forever home in the Washington, DC area to truly thrive. Gingersnap does well with other dogs and must go to a home that has a welcoming resident dog to help her gain confidence. While she hasn’t been tested with cats or kids, the team can share integration techniques for smooth introductions. Gingersnap is still shy and unsure of new experiences; she’s eager to explore the world with her humans. She dreams of sniffy walks, playful romps, and, of course, cozy snuggles. This girl is ready to learn and would benefit from dog school to help her come out of her shell fully. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will return your kindness with love, Gingersnap is eager to meet you. Can you provide her the home she’s waiting for? Please reach out to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to learn more about this delightful pup and discuss the possibility of fostering or adoption!
