Your advertisement that made me choose Molly, said she was good with dogs, WHAT happened, she gets very vicious through the fence with neighbor dogs, on walks pulls, very aggressive , this scares me, most of the time she is very nice but if she fights like this I do not know what to do, she digs in the yard, in tree stumps,

I adopted a Chihuahua that you named Bravo, on December 23rd, 2017. I changed his name to Toby (which is what he recognizes) In the beginning he was a sweet, shy, quiet dog. Over the course of time he has become aggressive, snarling at people and sometimes even me. I have upcoming shoulder replacement surgery on May 2nd and possible knee surgery sometime this summer.

Because Toby had changed so dramatically, I am not going to be able to keep him and would hope that I can return him to your care.

I have adopted dogs from you previously and have NEVER had an issue. However, at my age of 72 with upcoming surgeries and Toby’s drasyiv change in behavior, I simply cannot keep him.

Please get back to me as soon as possible as I don’t want to take Toby to an animal shelter

Hi, I’ll be coming over from the UK to visit Seattle for the last 2 weeks of March and was wondering if I might be able to volunteer some time to help with dog walking?

I’ll be staying with a friend who has a car, so we could take the dogs out and about for walks.

Thank you and best wishes, Jo x

Hello,

I am interested in setting up an adoption event with you and my company. My company offers paid volunteer days- I would like to put this to good use. Is this something you’d be interested in?

Hi! I’d love to help out and volunteer! I’m planning on adopting in the future and I would really like to help walk, feed, play or transport the animals. Please let me know if I can help out in anyway! I used to volunteer over at the Heart of The Valley animal shelter in Bozeman MT.

Thanks!

You have a dog in your possession that you picked up from Advanced Pet Care in San Bernardino. I’d like to know how to get this dog back without a civil lawsuit. I would appreciate an urgent response. This whole thing has been very shady. The dog was only missing about four hours before the finder was found.

Hi, I would really like to help out with the care of any pets at your rescue. I would be happy to walk, feed, play with or even have any dogs stay with me for a few nights. I would also be happy to help out with cats and any other animals that you have who need care. I have a medical background so would be more than happy to help with any special needs or medically complex pets. Thank you!

We Rescued a sweet, shy pup from Ginger in 2015. He was imported from Taiwan where he would have been processed as somebody’s food. It was great that we were able to find him and give him a great home and an incredibly spoiled life.

I’m mainly writing today to encourage others to adopt these beautiful animals to give them a chance at a great life like we did. I also wanted to call out some of the stupid other comments I saw posted here. I see a few of you want to blame the adoption agency for behavioral problems arising a while After you adopted your pets. I hate to break it to you but dogs are like any other social creatures, they need a lot of grooming (behavior) to encourage them to be well behaved animals. Blaming the good people who try to find them homes is like blaming an adoption agency for a child who does bad things later in life. I know that nowadays no one likes to take responsibility for themselves, but perhaps you did not do a good job socializing your pet in the first Place. Rather than blaming others, look at yourself first. A lot of these animals came from very traumatic backgrounds and need a big investment in teaching them to be good and loving pets. If you’re not prepared to put in a lot of Work to raise these great animals, maybe you shouldn’t be adopting any in the first Place.

But to those of you who are willing to put in the effort, adopting these wonderful pets can be one of the best and most fulfilling experiences of your lives. We cannot imagine a life without our sweet Tresckow (pup,) and I’m grateful for Ginger’s pet rescue for bringing us our furry little family member. Keep up the good Work!

Hi, I have some dog crates that I don’t use anymore and would like to donate them to your rescue. Where do I go to donate them?

Also, my formosan mountain dog is picky with her kibble and doesn’t seem to like it anymore. Am I able to donate opened dog food?

I adopted a very loving and kind lab/pit mix about year and a half ago, he came to a Washington state foster home from California. I named him Buddy. Still not sure his real history, has two different birthdays and not sure either one is correct, Sorry to read of some animals became aggressive but Buddy has only become more loving and trusting, he loves kids and adults we meet on walks. Does fine with other animals after the usual posturing, mostly to protect me I think. Anyway just wanted to let others know there are successes out here and Buddy is my companion, thank you Ginger rescue this one worked out just fine for both of us.
