A volunteer writes: Little Ginger belongs in a court jester suit!  She is very silly, fun, and puppylike.  She might pull on the leash sometimes, and occasionally make the executive decision that it would be more fun to play tug with the leash than walk around the block again, but her enthusiasm is completely contagious!  She seems to have a fair amount of energy, but I don’t think it will be difficult to burn off given her great love of toys.  When I threw an unfamiliar one for her she scoped it out like it was a UFO before play bowing to it and then darting away as if it might start to chase her!  She eventually realized it was a ball and went to town.  She loves fetch, too, and entertains herself in her cage with plush toys.  Ginger might be goofy, but she’s also very intelligent.  She knows “sit” and “paw”, seems houebroken, and is very engaging.  She’s super friendly and after she’s run around a bit she can be very cuddly.  She has a really sweet carefree, joyful way about her, is super wiggly and trusting with new people, and always manages to make me smile…please come see her at Brooklyn ACC!

When off leash at the Care Center, Ginger displays hyper-motivated behavior. She begins to chase then throw herself onto the other dog. As they run around, she becomes over-aroused and grabs his cheeks. She is unable to decrease her arousal level. Due to this display of hyper-motivated behaviors, the Behavior Department recommends that Ginger be the only resident dog in a home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 01/03/17 Ginger allowed all handling during her initial medical examination. ENERGY LEVEL: RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience) _x_Single-dog home, Recommend no dog parks (Due to the hyper-motivated behavior Ginger has displayed while here at the Care Center, the Behavior Department recommends that Ginger not be placed in a home with other dogs until she has been given adequate time to decompress from the shelter environment and her behavior towards others dogs can be further investigated. All interactions should be supervised and the Behavior Department recommends reward-based, force-free training to aid Ginger in learning how to appropriately interact with other dogs.)
