ould expect from a 1-year old pup…spunky, energetic, eager to learn, friendly, and loving. She’s got a little spice to her personality, but her sugary cinnamon sweetness ultimately takes over (and she gives the softest kisses!). Ginger has some energy, and can entertain herself by playing alone, but snuggling might be her favorite pastime. She loves, loves, loves the water and is gathering the courage to go fully into the family pool. She will hold a running hose in her mouth and thinks bathtime is the best. Ginger is great in the car and on a leash, loves all toys, and is crate-trained and house-trained. She even rings her dog bell to let you know she needs to use the ladies room. Ginger’s original owners love her to pieces, but she doesn’t get along with the other female dog in the house. This can be a common occurrence with two female pups and is why we have a policy against same gender placement. Our policy can receive criticism, mostly from individuals who have not personally experienced the challenges and heartbreak that can arise from having two females fighting in their home. But this situation is exactly why we have it. And though Ginger successfully lived with two male dogs, we do feel as if she would do best as an only dog. She is great when encountering dogs while out and about, but that doesn’t mean she should live with one. She had a slow introduction to a dog-savvy cat and did well, so living with a cat could be a possibility for her with slow intros. Ginger is a typical supermutt, who clearly has the best traits from multiple breeds, and has such beautiful and unique markings! With her sparkling sugar coat and those ginger-colored goggles, she is a cutie pie! And at 42 lbs is the perfect size. Gingersnap loves people and has extensive experience living with kids of all ages. Because of this history, respectful kids of all ages would be great with this sweet treat! We think she would LOVE some 2-legged siblings. Gingersnap’s top 3 priorities: 1. Ginger would love to be the only pet the home, so she doesn’t have to share her humans or her toys with anyone else. But don’t worry – she has more than enough love to give! 2. Ginger would love to be part of a family and part of the action. She doesn’t care if you go on a 5-mile hike together or sit on the couch all day watching reruns. As long as she can be with her humans when they are home, she is happy! 3. Ginger is smart and treat-motivated and would love training or enrichment games for some extra fun in the week.
