About Ginger Dominique

Meet Ginger Dominique, a delightful Basenji mix with a sprinkle of MinPin and Chihuahua, weighing in at a perfect 25 pounds. Born around October 24, 2025, Ginger is a gentle soul overflowing with love to give. She's a social butterfly who thrives on being part of the action and adores receiving affection. Ginger is exceptionally gentle with everyone, especially children. Her foster family is amazed by her innate ability to connect with babies and small kids, as if she understands, respects, and wants to care for them. It’s truly remarkable for such a young puppy! There was a heartwarming moment when a toddler was struggling with a toy, and Ginger rushed over, offering reassurance with a soft gaze and sweet, gentle kisses.

Once she feels secure and safe, Ginger's affectionate nature blossoms. She deeply bonds with her people and loves nothing more than curling up beside you for snuggles and quiet companionship. She’s the kind of dog who forms a profound connection and simply wants to be near you.

Even better, Ginger is fantastic with cats and other dogs! She’s a model on leash, though her puppy curiosity keeps her engaged. She walks with impressive manners, just as she’s well-behaved with every other living creature. Ginger's sweet disposition, playful curiosity, and engaging nature make her a wonderful addition to a home with children and other pets. She’s looking for a loving family who will match her sweetness, gentleness, playfulness, and caring spirit. Ginger will fit beautifully into a home where she can be part of the fun and enjoy plenty of snuggles.
