Ginger (A201668) has blossomed since arriving at the shelter Feb. 3. She was very shy when at first, but with the care and attention of staff and volunteers, is feeling loved and much more comfortable. She is easy to handle all over and has turned into quite the love bug. Ginger previously lived in small quarters with at least three other small dogs, so she should continue to do well with other dogs, especially those of her size.
Ginger would probably do best in a home with responsible older children and she can still be nervous around new people. Training is strongly recommended to help this young girl form a bond with her new owner, teach her some basic commands, and build her confidence.
Ginger is a spayed female, brown short hair Chihuahua, about 2 years old.
