Ginger fka Aphrodite - Dachshund and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Green Bay, Wisconsin

Meet Ginger AKA Aphrodite!

She is an absolutely wonderful dog with the funniest, goofiest personality! She has a true cartoon-character charm about her, especially when she's excited and one ear goes up while the other stays down. She's affectionate, lovable, cuddly, and just an all-around great girl.

Ginger is house trained and very well behaved in the home. She has free roam of the house and does wonderfully. She's also comfortable in her crate and will even go in on her own to relax, happily staying there with the door open.

This girl LOVES her people. She enjoys cuddling, belly rubs, and being petted and has happily slept next to her 14-year-old foster brother. She's not overly attached to just one person and is happy to spread her love around. She's also very friendly with strangers, although she did become unsure of one visitor who was wearing a football helmet, a pretty unusual sight from her perspective!

Ginger has done extremely well with children over the age of 8. She can get excited and may pop up on her hind legs when greeting someone, but she has shown no biting behavior.

She's a smart girl who listens well and has some basic training. She doesn't bark much, although she may bark at other dogs. She is still working on her leash manners and can pull very strongly at the beginning of a walk. After about a half mile, though, she settles in and walks much more nicely. She absolutely loves sniffing and exploring, especially through tall grass.

And if you mention a car ride or a walk? Get ready! Ginger gets so excited that she'll spin in circles because she knows something fun is about to happen.

Ginger has had some human food in the past and can be a little particular about her dog food. Her foster has found that mixing it with a little dog-safe chicken broth helps encourage her to eat.

Funny, goofy, affectionate, cuddly, smart, and full of personality, Ginger is the kind of dog who will keep you smiling while happily snuggling up beside you. She's already a wonderful companion and is ready to find a family who will love her as much as she deserves.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
