About Ginny

Meet Ginny, a delightful Shepherd/Lab mix who loves companionship and adventure. This one-year-old sweetheart thrives on playtime, whether it’s chasing balls or zooming around the yard. She’s a playful spirit who loves to frolic outdoors, making her very happy with a toy in sight. At about 57 lbs and with a short coat, Ginny is not only a great walker on the leash but also impressively crate trained in just four days. She enjoys being part of the family, following her foster mom everywhere and getting excited about new places and experiences. Car rides are a treat for her, though she’ll need a bit of help getting into larger vehicles. Ginny is dog-friendly and would do best in a home with a fenced yard, considering her playful zoomies. She hasn't interacted with cats, so it's a bit of a mystery how she'd react. An active family with kids aged 8 and older would be ideal for her due to her spirited nature, as she can be a bit mouthy when she's eager for attention. With all her adorable quirks, Ginny is ready to find her forever home where she can give and receive the love she craves. Ready to make this sweetheart part of your family?
