About Gina

Gina is an 8-month-old spayed female mix of American Staffordshire Terrier and Belgian Malinois, weighing about 56 lbs. Rescued from a rough situation, she’s now in a foster home in Martinez, CA, ready for a loving family. This playful girl has a vibrant personality and adores human companionship. Gina enjoys engaging with dog friends, showing her playful side through tug of war, and prefers smaller dogs for her playtime. While she can be wary of larger dogs, she’s great with her small foster siblings and seeks the same tenderness in any new furry friends. Although she isn’t currently in a home with children, her jumpy energy suggests a household with older kids would be ideal. Gina shows great promise—she's crate trained and working diligently on her house training. She walks well on a leash and has no signs of separation anxiety, making her a fantastic addition for active families or individuals looking for a companion to share adventures with. Her love for toys is endearing; she enjoys collecting them and has even mastered playing fetch!
