Her Foster mom writes….

Meet Ginnie!
Ginnie has been in a foster home in NJ learning the in and outs of being a puppy and she's enjoying every moment of it. She has come a long way in foster care and really enjoys the company of other dogs, so a home with another dog would be preferred. Although she is timid at first, she has nothing but love to give and loves cuddles. She would make a great pet if you're willing to give her the time and patience she needs to trust you and bond with you. She is not quite sure of children but has shown no aggression towards them so with the proper introduction, she would be wonderful with children. She is a fast learner and has house trained with ease! She is available in NJ.

Ginnie and her five sisters had been abandoned at a dumpster site and found by a Wheeler Co sanitation worker. The young pups, approximately 3 months old at the time, were terrified, hungry and very much in need of some help.. While all six were extremely wary of the sanitation worker, he was able to gather them all up and took them to his home. The sanitation worker then contacted SoCo Rescue seeking help for the pups. When Scott Bennett went to meet the pups, he was horrified at not only the living conditions of the pups- a makeshift, very unclean and muddy outdoor kennel area, he knew that one of the pups was very close to dying if she didn't receive immediate help.The sanitation worker explained that the kennel hadn't been used in "a long time" and was the only place that he had to keep the pups until help could be found. The man also said his work schedule limited his time to feed the pups to only once a day. 

Despite being very crowded at the rescue, Scott took the sickest of the pups and one of her sisters with him. Over the next week, Scott took on the responsibility of making sure the remaining four pups were fed, watered and had their living area cleaned twice a day. He also began administering de-wormers, vaccinations and other much needed medications. After about a week, the four remaining pups were reunited with their two sisters at SoCo Rescue.

Ginnie is the smaller of the two tri-colored pups. She tends to follow the lead of her much bigger sister, Geri, but has started to learn that it's OK to sometimes make her own choices. This has led to her becoming more accepting of people and actually wanting to explore the possibilities of making friends with those she meets. A little time and love will be rewarded with so much love that this little girl has to offer.

Ginnie has now received her annual vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated against parasites, started on her monthly preventatives  a well as being spayed. She will require all of her training, including house training.
