About McGinger

McGinger is a charming chiweenie mix with a delightful blend of white, brown, and black fur. At just 6 months old and weighing around 17 pounds, this playful girl is full of life. She loves her naps but is equally enthusiastic about wrestling and playtime. Being one of six siblings born to a brindle chiweenie mom, McGinger exhibits a curious and courageous spirit. She's a bit food-driven, so separating her during mealtime is wise, as she'll try to sneak food from her siblings. Occasionally, she uses cute little vocalizations to express her desires, like a gentle yip or growl. At night, she sometimes shares the big bed with her foster but can take a bit more space than expected. Her foster suggests crating her at night to ensure everyone sleeps comfortably. This little one is potty-trained and knows to use potty pads when needed. McGinger dreams of a loving home with a cozy bed, playful backyard adventures, and people to shower her with affection forever. She's spayed, vaccinated, and ready to start her life with a caring family who can offer her time to adjust. Click apply to start the adoption process.
