Ginger - Retriever and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in West Peoria, Illinois

Ginger is ten weeks old and 12 pounds, she is a little fluffy too. We are unsure on breed since her and Charlie were picked up as strays, thinking will be medium to large size and that they are some sort of retriever and some sort of shepherd mix but that is a guess! Ginger is a sweet girl, kind of mellow at times for her age. She seems to be very smart. She loves playing with toys and running around in the yard with her brother. She is doing pretty good with potty training and will go on potty pads in the house, she will need continued training of course. She is sleeping quite well at night in her pen and usually doesn't wake up until the sun comes up! Ginger will be a great additional for the right family.

Her adoption fee of $300 covers her spay, microchip with registration, first 2 puppy vaccines, dewormer, and current monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventions. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply.
