Story
Animal Profile: Ginger is an 2-year-old, 90 lb female large breed originally rescued from Texas; DNA test shows 1/4 Great Pyrenees, 1/8 each Anatolian Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog, Rottweiler, and 1/4 unknown. Ginger is a gorgeous dog and she will be an excellent companion in the right home. She has lived peacefully with another dog and cat, and is currently in foster care with other dogs as well. Due to her breed mix., Ginger will likely always be wary of strangers. She would do best in a home with a fellow canine companion as she looks to the dogs in her pack for guidance and reassurance in new situations. She is crate trained and house trained, and does well on leash. Seattle Foster Update: Ginger is very playful with young dogs and I think she will do well in a home with an energetic canine companion. She doesn't yet play with humans and she's not a big snuggler, but she will lie down near me so that her back touches my leg. She does not show any signs of food aggression and will even give up her food if another dog shows interest! She enjoys walks when it is really quiet out, but is nervous around strangers, especially outside the house. (She still wants to bolt when a person approaches her, but will now sit and just let the person pass.) She's also doing better when a stranger comes over to the house; she'll lie in place rather than running and cowering. She will need a patient owner who will let her crate be a safe place and will help her build her trust and confidence as she adjusts to a new environment. Adoption Info: Ginger's adoption fee is $400 which includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and current health check from a veterinarian. The adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization. Animal History: Ginger was lovingly raised from a puppy with another puppy, Max, but unfortunately they both developed litter mate syndrome, including fear and reactivity, despite training. DGS agreed to help with the training and rehoming of these deserving dogs, and both made excellent progress in foster care. Max has been adopted, but Ginger is still searching for the perfect home!
