Virginia (Ginni) Mae's Story

Meet Virginia “Ginni” Mae <br/><br/>Virginia, or Ginni Mae as her foster family calls her, is a precious 4-year-old Bichon weighing about 20<br/> pounds. With her soft white and cream curly coat, sweet eyes, and adorable little lamb-like appearance, she is pretty hard to resist! <br/><br/>Ginni came to Dogworks after spending her life as a former mill dog, and she is now learning what it means to be loved, spoiled, and part of a family. She is a gentle, quiet little girl who absolutely craves love and attention. Give her a comfy bed or couch and a pair of loving arms, and Ginni is one happy girl. She loves to snuggle, enjoys being petted, and even likes watching TV with her people. <br/><br/>When meeting new people, Ginni is very friendly but may take a moment to approach because she can be a little cautious at first. Once she realizes you are there to give her love, her sweet personality shines through. Her soulful eyes seem to melt your heart!<br/><br/>Ginni gets along well with other dogs and can live with cats and children. She does have one little rule when it comes to her bones—she prefers not to share and may give a growl if another dog tries to take one. Otherwise, she is a very easygoing companion. She is calm during the day, enjoys going for walks, and is happiest simply staying close to her people.<br/><br/>Ginni is crate trained and is doing well learning her basic commands, including sit, down, stay, come, no, and off. She responds well to verbal correction and is a very good listener. She is also continuing to work on her potty training. She will use pee pads, and if her foster catches her having an accident, she will stop when corrected. Her foster family feels she is making great progress and shouldn’t need much longer to become fully potty trained.<br/><br/>Ginni is not a runner and is currently enjoying a yard without a fence, but a securely fenced yard is required for her adoptive home. She is also still learning to walk on a leash.<br/><br/>One thing Ginni isn’t particularly fond of is having medicine given or having her ears cleaned. When she’s uncomfortable or afraid, she may hide. She is clever enough to figure out how to hide a pill, but she’s also cooperative enough to take it when her foster places it directly in her mouth. <br/><br/>Ginni is looking for someone who will give her the patience, love, and security she may not have had earlier in life. In return, she will give you something pretty special—a quiet little shadow who wants nothing more than to be beside you, curled up on the couch, soaking up every bit of love you have to give.<br/><br/>Ginni Mae’s perfect home is one where she can finally be someone’s cherished companion. <br/><br/>Spay appointment: September 15<br/>Age: 4 years<br/>Weight: 22 lbs<br/>Breed: Bichon Frise<br/>Good with dogs: Yes<br/>Good with cats: Yes<br/>Good with children: Yes<br/>Crate trained: Yes<br/>Potty trained: In training<br/>Fenced yard required: Yes<br/>Grooming needs: High<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $350<br/><br/>If you feel, Ginni would be a perfect fit, please fill out the adoption application below.

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
