About Gina

Gina is currently fostered in Winfield Park, NJ. This gentle soul is learning the joys of safety and love. At just 1.5 years old and 36 lbs, she has endured more than her share of hardship. Previously neglected and mistreated, she now shows signs of blossoming in a caring environment.\n\nSnuggling in bed with her foster family has become one of her favorite pastimes. She's beginning to understand that soft beds are for resting and that kindness exists. Gina’s past makes her a bit timid, but deep down, she’s a sweet girl ready to experience all the good life has to offer.\n\nGina needs a patient and loving home where she can gain trust at her own pace. While she’s very friendly, she might be most comfortable as an only pet in a feline-free home. If there’s another dog, a meet-and-greet is essential to ensure compatibility. Watching Gina grow and come out of her shell is an incredibly rewarding experience, and with the right family, she will become a loyal companion.
