Ginger is sweet, outgoing and friendly. She loves to cuddle on furniture and play with toys, balls and romp outside. She does not like to be alone. She whimpers and cries when crated, gated or left in a room away from you. She does not bark much. She does shake from time to time when locked away in a crate or behind a gate.

Ginger is interested in cats but too excited to meet them safely. She has a high prey drive for birds, barks at them and bares teeth. She likes to chase the squirrels out of the yard. Once given time with dogs, she warmed up to Haiku and Tracker just fine. She is fine in the yard with them as well as in rooms together. She still bares her teeth from time to time but they just turn away and ignore her and nothing happens. They are very patient with her. The other dogs are too reactive to be around her.

Ginger is able to be left alone. She has been left up to 8 hours without incident. At this time she seems fine with a calm household. Perhaps with one confident dog. She loves a yard to run in, so a yard would be nice.

Ginger came to NYCSR on March 29, 2008. She is 24 pound, 7 year old, red female Shiba who was surrendered to us by her owners because her life became very confusing after a new baby joined the family.

Foster mom Molly says

Ginger is fun loving, funny, out going and sweet. She loves to fetch tennis balls or cuddle at your side for a nap. Her new game is to attack the water off the waterfalls in the yard. She and Haiku are getting along better and better as each day goes by. She is re learning all of her commands and enjoying it.
