Ginger is an incredibly sweet Golden Retriever who came to SFCR after being released from a commercial breeding facility.

Ginger has done wonderfully while in foster care and is learning what it's all about to be a member of a family. 

She loves to be wherever her foster mom is and loves to lay at foster mom's feet while she works. She is very affectionate and loves her people more than anything. 

Ginger will need a patient family that is committed to helping her continue to build confidence and learn new things. She would do best in a quieter home without small children as she could accidentally knock little ones over. 

Ginger does well around the other large breed dog in her foster home but does not do well with small breed dogs, and therefore, must go to a home without small dogs or cats. 

Ginger does have a grade III heart murmur - she had a heart work up while in rescue and the cardiologist does not recommend any treatment or medication at this point. Her heart murmur will need to be monitored at biyearly vet checkups. Ginger has not shown any heart symptoms and enjoys going on walks and spending time outside. It is very possible and likely that she will need to be put on heart medication later on in her life. 

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Ginger needs a home without small breed dogs or cats.
  • Financially stable family that is willing and able to provide heart medication and further testing (if needed) later on in her life. 
  • Ginger would do best in a home where a family member is home most of the time as she does not like to be separated from her people. 

Ginger is now spayed, had a dental cleaning & heart workup while in rescue, is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm & tick tested negative, current on monthly heartworm & flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400 plus tax.

More about Ginger

Is Not Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Good with Older/Considerate Kids Only, Affectionate, Eager To Please, Gentle, Not good with small dogs

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
