About Ginger

Adoption Fee: $250
Chihuahua
Age: Adult
Sex: Female

Hi, I'm Ginger! I am an 8 year old, 10 and a 1/2 pound pretty Chihuahua. My mom has Alzheimers and my dad couldn't take care of both of us, so I came to rescue. As you can see I have red eyes due to allergies. It was a little rough in my home and my poor dad was overwhelmed and not giving me my medicines. But the rescue people are giving me nice soothing baths and I've been started on Apoquel. I'm also eating dog food for dogs with sensitive skin. No more itching! This pic was taken when I very first came in, and my eyes are not as red now. They say the medication takes awhile to get in my system, but I'm feeling better already! I was a little shy when I got here, lots of changes, but I have warmed up in this home with many dogs. I'm still not a lap dog but I do like to sit beside you and sleep next to you on the big bed at night. I'm pretty feisty for my age. I'm not really playful, but I am energetic. My favorite thing is when I'm watching TV and a dog comes on the television. Well, I go bananas. I recognize that it's a dog and jump up and bark and get all excited! I do this every single time a dog appears...I don't understand why are they are in that big box thing. Other than that I don't really interact with the other dogs in my foster home and would be fine as an only dog as that is what I am used to. I have not been tested around cats or kids but because of my size and my temperament I would probably be best with an older couple or a family with older kids. When I get excited, I play bite, not hard, and I don't mean to hurt you at all, I just want you to pay attention to me! Little kids may be scared though. I'm housetrained and use a doggy door and have not had any accidents in the house. My nice Foster mom does take me out on a regular basis. I enjoy a fenced in yard because I don't walk real well on a leash. But I don't think it would be hard to train me on a leash, I am a smart pup after all. I'm up-to-date on all my shots, heartworm negative, spayed, and microchipped with a lifetime registration. I am a sweet girl and I miss my family terribly, even though I'm doing well in my foster home. What I really would love is to find a home of my own with a family to love. I hope that my new parents are out there somewhere! If you are them please submit an adoption application and come meet me! We can love each other furever!
