About Ginger

Ginger is a one-of-a-kind chow who seems to embody the spirit of a golden retriever. With her signature purple tongue and fluffy bear-like appearance, she brings a friendly and easygoing energy to any space. Ginger adores people, enjoys quiet moments, and loves being pampered with belly and butt rubs. She would thrive best as an only dog but might accept another canine companion if they share a good rapport. Ginger has undergone surgeries for entropion and hip dysplasia, and she’s bouncing back wonderfully. Although she should avoid overexertion, she still enjoys playful interactions and strolls. Surprisingly willing to tolerate baths, she's quite the sweetheart—a trait her groomer often praises. For her to thrive, she needs a home with dog-savvy owners and ideally a fenced yard. If you think you can provide this wonderful girl with the love she deserves, she could be the perfect addition to your family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
