Ginger

12-year-old Ginger is a 30-pound beagle mix. She is described as “an outgoing, playful girl who loves receiving affection”. Ginger has been with the same family since he was about a year old, when she was adopted from a shelter. Life changes for her humans mean life changes for Ginger. We’d love to help this girl find the loving, forever home she needs.

Ginger has never lived with another dog. Her family says she is appropriately social with dogs she meets. This leads us to believe she could share her home with another dog who is friendly. A dog buddy in her new home could help her settle in and adapt. We have seen it happen firsthand! Ginger does not like cats. She has done well with children who are respectful and kind.

While she is a senior, that does not stop her from being playful and energetic. Her favorite game is fetch; she loves to play with her people! Ginger enjoys daily walks, going on 2 walks each day. She is well-behaved on leash. She can manage stairs at this time. The benefit of a mature dog like Ginger is that she is happy lounging around the house, appreciating the company of her people.

Ginger has stayed home alone without issue, managing a while between potty breaks. When a dog moves into a new home, one must always give grace and show compassion as a dog works through the process of losing its last home. It is reported that Ginger does not bark much, just to let you know when someone is at the door. She is very happy to welcome you home, wagging her tail and buzzing with excitement!

As we always remind potential adopters, Ginger’s new family should be able and willing to afford her veterinary care. She may need dental care, which is very important to provide her with if needed. We are told that Ginger hears well; her eyes are showing their age, but she appears to have no vision changes.

This girl has been a loyal companion for many years. Her family says she is a low-maintenance dog who is easy-going. We think Ginger sounds terrific!
