Gingersnap's Story

***06/20/26 - Meet Gingersnap! <br/>Looking for a little dog with a big personality? This adorable 7.8 lb, 4-year-old spayed female Chiweenie is full of life, happy, curious, and always ready to brighten your day! But Gingersnap comes with a "no touchy" sign. 🚫✋🛑<br/>Gingersnap is an independent little lady who isn't quite comfortable with being touched just yet. Because of that, she'll need a patient, understanding adopter who will let her move at her own pace. Otherwise, as her name suggests, she can snap at you. But working with her at a slow steady pace, Gingersnap will warm up, and be the best pup she can be for you! And you know how they say the best relationships are built on trust, well once she realizes she's safe and loved, she'll continue to blossom.<br/>✨ About GS:<br/>🐾 4 years old<br/>🐾 Spayed female<br/>🐾 Mostly potty trained<br/>🐾 Spunky, happy, and full of personality<br/>🐾 Prefers to make friends on her own timeline<br/>🐾 Will thrive with patience, kindness, and consistency<br/>She's looking for someone who understands that not every dog shows affection right away, but those who earn her trust will know just how rewarding that journey can be. ❤️<br/>This little girl may not be a lap dog on day one, but she has all the potential to become a loyal companion for someone willing to give her the gift of time and patience.<br/>❤️ Could you be the person who helps her discover what it means to be truly loved?<br/><br/>***Very fearful and not socialized with humans. Great with dogs - Secure yard and patience required<br/><br/>***05/09/26 - Gingersnap is a happy, bossy little lady who is learning that the world isn’t so scary! While she’s still a bit "hands-off" and prefers to retreat to her crate when reached for, she has made incredible progress in her foster home.<br/><br/>She is a routine queen who already knows exactly when it’s breakfast, dinner, and treat time. She’s also doing great with her house manners—she understands to go potty outside, though she’ll use a pad indoors if needed.<br/><br/>Gingersnap just needs a patient home that understands she’s still building her trust with being handled. Once she knows she’s safe, her spunky personality truly shines. If you’re looking for a smart, independent girl with a touch of "sass," Gingersnap is ready to find her person!<br/><br/><br/>***04/16/26 - New intake from Abilene/All Kind, owner surrender, 8 lbs (very overweight), 4 yrs old
