About Gina

Gina is an 8-month-old spayed female mixed breed, likely a Belgian Malinois and American Staffordshire Terrier mix, weighing in at 56 lbs. Rescued from a tough situation as a puppy, she now thrives in a loving foster home in Martinez, CA, and is ready to find her forever family. Gina shows a sweet disposition and enjoys playing tug of war with her small dog friends. Although she’s friendly with dogs she knows, she can be apprehensive around larger unfamiliar dogs, so slow introductions are essential for her comfort. This playful pup loves toys, often collecting them into her bed for playtime. While she hasn’t been around children in her foster care, she can get jumpy when excited; a home with dog-savvy kids over 10 would suit her best. Gina is crate trained and working on her house training, managing up to 8 hours in her crate without accidents. She walks well on a leash and appears to have no separation anxiety. For her ideal home, Gina would thrive in an active environment where she can receive daily play and exercise. We recommend a household with another dog to keep her company and help burn off her puppy energy. Gina is ready to bring joy and companionship to the right family! Ready to fall in love?
