About Gina

Gina is a charming young Rat Terrier mix weighing about 30 pounds. With her sleek black coat and a personality that shines brighter than her size, she adores her people, particularly men. While her enthusiasm can be a bit overwhelming at times, she’s a smart dog who responds well to guidance and has excellent recall. In the house, Gina is surprisingly quiet. She doesn’t bark excessively but will alert you to the sound of a car in the driveway or a visitor at the door. Socially, she enjoys the company of other dogs but doesn’t require one to thrive; she could easily be the only pet soaking up all the attention. She currently lives harmoniously with a cat, although playtime might be a bit much for her feline friend sometimes. Gina is house-trained and walks nicely on a leash. She’s still gaining confidence in outdoor settings, but she learns quickly and is eager to build her social skills. While she can manage some alone time, her happiest moments are spent with her humans, especially if they’re not away all day. She’s a loving, playful companion who’s looking for a same-sized piece of your heart. Gina is ready to be transported to her forever home, with arrangements available for those in Long Island and surrounding areas. Give Gina a chance and see how much love she can bring into your life.
