Spaniel Mix
Hi, my name is Ginger. I am a beauty, aren't I? I weigh about 15 pounds and they call me a Spaniel Mix. I think part of that mix is dachshund because I am built long and low and I like to smell every smell when I go for walks. I answer to Ginger now but when AFH rescued me and my two puppies, we didn't have names. I came from a hoarder in West Virginia along with 26 other dogs which left me shy an axious out in public. Although I will bark at other dogs I see out in public. I get along fine with Coco, the poodle who is my foster brother, though. We like napping or walking side-by-side. Young children make me nervouse so I would do best in a home with adults only.
Let me describe my ideal forever home to you. There will be a loving someone who will be the center of my world. This person will rub my ears, pat my head and give me nice treats. I would love it if they were around all the time so I could sit in the same room with them but I like to hang out in "Ginger's house" and am fine if left on my own. I'm not exactly a lap dog but I like to sit close to my people so they have ample opportunity to pet me. It would be great if there was a big yard because I love to run. (If there was a neighborhood fox who would periodically lay out new paths for me to track, that would please me, too.) I can't say for sure but I don't think I would get along with a cat and I am afraid of children.
I am house-trained and crate-trained. I can walk on a leash and am learning basic commands like sit and stay. I am very shy at first but I am also very curious. I need people to be patient and let me come up to them. I find the adoption events stressful but have met nice people who gave me a little time to get used to them before they petted me. I really want to be loved but it is hard. If you could be patient, it only took me a few days to bond with my foster mommy, I could be a wonderful, loving companion. Would you like to be the center of my world?
