Ginger's Story

I had always thought of myself as a cat person. The only dog I would have ever considered getting was a pug. After months of searching for a pug, I finally opened my eyes to the hundreds of adorable, loving and available dogs at the Humane Society. I felt so selfish! My boyfriend and I drove down to HSU and checked out all of the dogs.

Ginger, a Black Lab Mix, stared at us with her chocolaty eyes, and we fell in love. We adopted her in November of 2007. She is quiet, sweet, and snuggly indoors and playful, hyper and energetic when the time is right. She is the perfect dog for a cat person! Ginger is well-behaved and quiet, so much that I have probably only heard her bark 5 times to this day. She is beautiful, and I would recommend a black lab to anyone! Don't fall victim to "black dog syndrome" where black dogs in shelters are commonly ignored. Ginger is a princess and I couldn't be happier!! Thank you Humane Society!
