Ginger

My story

Ginger’s Story Ginger’s story is one of resilience. She is an all-around fantastic dog (house-trained, crate-trained, playful, and loyal) and prefers not to be around other dogs. Seven years ago, Ginger was adopted by a family with kids. She gave them five years of love and loyalty. We don’t know the full story, but we know they rehomed her when they got a new puppy. For about the next two years, Ginger was with an elderly couple in Richmond who had recently developed health issues like dementia and back problems. Four months ago, Ginger needed to be rehomed again. Trish took her in, but Ginger didn’t get along with Trish’s resident dog. So we had to find her a new home within a couple of days. That’s when Ginger ended up with Rucha & Rutvik. They are first-time dog fosters who live in a rental apartment in busy Mountain View.  We don’t know much about Ginger’s past day-to-day life but we can tell that apartment living is new to her. Ginger is learning new skills like seeing new people and dogs every day, meeting new humans, going to restaurants, and eating all kinds of Indian food. This exposure is helping her tremendously. She is extremely food-motivated and takes corrections well. Ginger is trying her best and her dog reactivity is getting better every day.  Dogs have so little control over their lives yet they have so much love to give. They try so hard, they adapt so easily and seamlessly into their human lives. Imagine being shuffled around like a piece of furniture, never quite settling in anywhere. It takes its toll, but Ginger's spirit remains unbroken. The best of humans would crumble where this dog has survived and thrived. Her fosters have grown to cherish her deeply and will have a hard time letting her go. Yet they know that apartment life, with its constant stream of new faces and dogs, is not the sanctuary Ginger deserves.  Let's find Ginger her forever home where she will be loved and cherished for the rest of her days.
