Pet of the Month

Ginger

Breed: Pit bull mix
Gender: Female
Age: 4



Training Skills: Ginger is crate-trained and knows the commands Sit, Down, Stay, Leave It and Come. She also walks well on a leash.

Ideal Home: Ginger would do best as the only dog in the household.

Favorite pastimes: She loves to play an energetic game of fetch with stuffed toys and is a master at getting the squeakers out of them! She also loves walks around the neighborhood.

Special Features: She adores children!

What Staffers Say: “Ginger is ALL personality. She’s got a great smile and it’s contagious—she’s guaranteed to fill your day with laughs. In return, all she wants is some petting, playing and love—and she makes it easy. Ginger is a fast learner and loves to show off her smarts, and she’s got a heart of gold. She’s happiest when she’s with her people, and I suspect her people will be happiest when they’re with her.”
