Ginger

My name is Ginger. I am a playful dog who enjoys the company of my human friends and playing with toys. I would do best in a home with people who love the personalities of German Shepherds and who are already familiar with or wish to learn positive reinforcement training. I am part of a loyal breed, and it has been hard for me as I have been passed around many homes. Because of this, I will also need some adjustment time to settle in and bond with you. I will need a home without dogs as I was never socialized with them and now I do not do well with other dogs. However, in previous homes I lived with other types of animals and my former family said I did well, but it may be best for me to live with people and no other animals, just to make things easier for everyone. I would also benefit from a 6-foot fenced in yard to play fetch in.

I am very playful and love to chase toys as well as throw them around to entertaining myself. During my excitement in these situations, sometimes I jump for the toy while you're holding it resulting in an accidental mouth contact. My friends at OHS have been successful in teaching me to sit & wait before they throw the toy. I would benefit from taking some training classes with my new family as I am a good learner, and it would be a great way for us to bond.

If you think we may be a perfect match, come stop by and meet me! The best part? I'm part of the Diamond in the Ruff program , which you can read more about here. That means you'll have plenty of time to get to know me before you officially adopt me!

To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
