About Gina

Gina is a petite Rat Terrier mix weighing around 30 pounds, sporting a sleek black coat and a vibrant personality. She adores her people—especially men—and sometimes her enthusiasm can be a bit overwhelming when she greets them. Although she’s learning to tone it down, Gina is smart and has excellent recall. This sweet girl is surprisingly quiet, only chiming in when noting a car in the driveway or a stranger at the door. She coexists well with other dogs but doesn’t necessarily need a canine companion to thrive. Currently living with a cat, she's enthusiastic in her play, which may not always be appreciated by her feline friend. Gina is house-trained, leash-trained, and responsive, though she might need some company during long work hours. A compact companion, she offers affection and playfulness without the constant noise. Her ideal home can boast a compatible dog or offer her all the attention as the only pet. Gina is available for transport to the Asheville, NC area and can be adopted by those in Western North Carolina. Ready to adopt Gina? Click apply to start the adoption process.
