My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ginger was dumped out in the wetlands (where critters such as coyotes still roam), along with a little male - not sure whether was her buddy, mate or pup - sadly he was hit by a car and killed before he could be rescued. Whomever had her prior to abandoning her was not kind to her.... she is curious, yet leary when meeting new people - especially men! Ginger seems more comfortable with women. It takes her a little while to warm up & trust new people, but once she gets to know you she's very sweet and is a cuddled. Ginger does best when she approaches new people first without any gesture to reach for or grab her as this frightens her and she may snap. Ginger will need someone who is understanding, patient and kind, but firm and willing to give her time & gain her trust... Once that happens, and she feels loved and safe, she is kisses, belly rubs, can be picked and cuddled without any problems. She loves her walks, but stays close by her person. Ginger does seem partial to the boy dogs - both small and medium size and has done well with them (she's a bit of a flirt). Ginger is hit and miss with larger dogs. Ginger is happy, playful and good little watch dog once she settles in to her environment/people. She is house trained, however if she has no way to get outside, she is also pad/towel trained. Ginger would be a good companion for a single woman, preferable an experience adopter who is patient, kind, gentle and willing to give her time to adjust. (Ginger has never been alone, so a little male buddy dog would be best to keep her company when her person is gone).
