Ginger


This is Ginger (and Noah). I rescued her yesterday. She had been dumped in the country with a litter of puppies. A family had found her and kept her until the puppies were weaned. They had found homes for all the pups, but since Ginger kept getting in their chicken coop, they needed to find a home for her. She's about 18 months old and someone obviously spent some time training her before they dumped her in the country. She sits, stays, fetches, is leash trained and from what we can tell so far, is house trained.

She was one stinky dog, so as soon as we got back to Frisco, we brushed her out with the Furminator and then took her to the groomer for a flea dip and bath. Since then, she's been living it up. She hasn't barked yet, did not get scared with all the thunderstorms, and just lays at your feet most of the time. She has a few cat tendencies - meaning that she comes up, puts her nose under your hand and wants you to pet her. And then she just stares at your with those big brown eyes.

As I've told the boys numerous times over the last 24 hours, she's a rescue and after she adjusts, and is fixed, we will find a home for her. Quita is not really thrilled about sharing the attention. She vacillates between totally ignoring her and protecting her toys.

If your interested in her, let us know. I do believe she will be a great pet.

Paul, I forwarded this to my mom...she's an animal lover and really wants a dog that is trained already. Not sure if she'll go for it since she's been holding out for a brown standard poodle!! I thought I'd give it a try though.

Take care, Mel
