Ginger - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Temple, Texas

Hi, my name is Ginger, aka "Gingi or Princess". I'm about 4 years old and 15 pounds. My mom says I'm a Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) and that I'm perfect. I'm current on all my shots, microchipped, spayed, and kennel trained. I am heartworm positive, but my treatment has already begun and the treatment goes with me when I'm adopted. Also, I don't believe in going potty in the house, so I learned how to use the doggy door right away. I like my foster fur brothers, but I'm really not interested in playing with them. They rough house and that's not dignified in my opinion. I would rather be with my person, cuddling up on the couch. My foster mom does take me for walks and rides in the car and I have perfect manners. I think I would get along with cats and respectful children if asked. I'm not a big eater, but I love a boiled egg for a treat. Do you think you want to be my forever person?

My foster mom wanted me to add:
1. I received my name because of my color AND because of my "gingerly" walk whenever I'm happy (which is 99% of the time). 2. I smile. 3. I'm a total cuddle bug and will follow you anywhere in the house. 4. I love being brushed and don't mind mani-pedis.
