Hi! I'm Gingerbread! I'm a sweet, laid back girl who's ready to be your buddy! Getting up for a 5 am run? Awesome! Want to sleep in? No problem! Going out for brunch? I'll lay under the table and enjoy my own treat. Family game night? Deal me in! Farmers markets, hikes, shopping, car rides, I'm up for it all! I'll even help you do your taxes! Just kidding, my math skills are a little rusty. But, I'm the best work from home buddy. I'll snooze by your side while you crunch the numbers.

Speaking of crunching, I'm a big fan of treats. I even know how to sit! Based on my foster mom's reaction, I'm pretty sure that's the coolest trick there is. I'm a smart cookie though, and I know a lot of other skills too. I'm AMAZING on leash (seriously, I almost never pull), and I'm good about going potty in the same spot outside every time. I pick up on house routines quickly, and am great about settling inside and outside of my crate.

When I'm not out for a walk or snoozing I really like bully sticks, kongs, bones, and food puzzles. I love a challenge, and I'll work at something until I get it figured out. I really like having something to do, but I don't need to be entertained all the time. I mean, staying busy is great, but have you tried sleeping?? Plus, I've got the routine of my day memorized, so I'm good to chill until my foster mom is done working. Then I get all the attention!

As far as other dogs go, I like them fine, but most days I really don't have time to play. A quick sniff is usually enough for me. My foster mom thinks that I'm a little shy about playing since I'm still settling into life in the city, and that I'll be more interested in having doggie friends as time goes on. I'm pretty sure she's right, but for now I love playing with the humans in my life!

I think that's everything you need to know about me! In short, if you're looking for a canine bestie to be your co-pilot, look no further than Gingerbread!
