Product Description

Meet Ginger!

Ginger is approximately 6 years old with a lot of love to give! She likes to spend her days playing in the backyard, so she likes plenty of room to run around and explore. She will play with a person but does not care for too much toys. She enjoys taking a stroll with her humans in the park as well. She has learned to ignore cats if they don’t react to her presence. She would do well in a home without small children or larger dogs as she tends to scare easily.

Ginger is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on flea and heartworm prevention.

      How long have you been looking for a new dog?

      Where did you learn about Homes for Pets/SHS and our animals for adoption?

      Do you understand that some Homes for Pets/SHS animals, having been abandoned by their previous owners, may come with “baggage” and may have separation anxiety, may need to re-learn how to live in a home environment and to bond with your family and other pets?

      Would you be willing to have an in-home visit by a Homes for Pets/Schertz Humane Society representative?


      I hereby affirm that I have answered the above questions truthfully and to the best of my knowledge. I give my permission for Homes for Pets/Schertz Humane Society to contact the landlord, and veterinarian I have provided for references, and I give my permission for the release of any information they deem relevant to the adoption of an animal from the Homes for Pets/Schertz Humane Society.

      In the event that I am no longer able to care for this animal, I agree to contact Homes for Pets/SHS in the first instance. However, I understand that Homes for Pets/SHS cannot guarantee immediate placement.

      By checking this box, I have agreed to share my information with Homes for Pets and have read the above statement.


      Dogs require a lot of your time, love and attention. The cost of caring for a dog includes food, vaccinations, testing, boarding, and veterinary care during emergencies. Please consider these requirements when adopting a dog and be sure you are willing to commit to a new family member who may be with you for the next 15-18 years. Thank you for your time!
