About Ginger

Meet Ginger! This adorable senior dog has the playful spirit of a puppy. She thrives as the only pet, preferring to keep all the attention and her belongings to herself. Ginger loves to split her time between play and cuddles. She can get a bit grumbly if playtime or snuggle sessions end too soon, but she is easy to redirect. Because she can be possessive, a home without children is best for her. While Ginger is generally in good health, she has a history of struvite crystals and requires monitoring for flare-ups. She also suffers from dry eye and will need lifelong prescription eye ointment. If you're a strong, patient leader looking for a cuddly ball of energy, Ginger might just be your perfect match.
