GINGER Ginger is a purebred female Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Her DOB is 7/25/03. Ginger is the mother to Dora and Dixie who are also up for adoption. Ginger was with a group of 10 Wheatens that were rescued from a miller in Texas. We took all of the Wheatens from the mill so they are no longer breeding them! To learn more about dogs that come from mills click HERE Ginger is very friendly, jumps up to greet and her tail goes a mile a minute. She was actually living in the house with the puppymiller so is used to that - she was sleeping on the couch when we went in to get her. Ginger's vet bill totalled 262.60 Our Christmas Miracle Girl! On December 7th Ginger was discovered in her crate with her intestines hanging outside her body. She had chewed her spay incision open which allowed this to happen. She was rushed to the vet and into emergency surgery. In the surgery she lost nearly a foot of intestines due to bruising. She was given a 50/50 chance of surviving due to the high risk of developing a life threatening infection or from the intestines failing to heal properly. But, Ginger proved to everyone that she is a fighter and had no intention of giving up. She was up with her tail wagging just a few hours after surgery when the vet said she should not be physically able to stand yet and sailed through recovery with not the slightest complication. Everyone at the vet could not say enough about this special girl. They were all very impressed with her and her personality. Not to mention her will to live. Ginger is now home and other than having to wear the cone for a few more days to insure she is not able to get to the surgery site she has been declared out of the woods and a true miracle girl! Our vet gave us a large discount on her bill but with emergency surgery, a night at the ER clinic and 10 days at the vet her bill came to just about $900. A huge THANK YOU to all of the Angels listed below who were generous enough to donate to allow us to save the life of this very special girl! Ginger is spayed, heartworm negative and up to date on shots. MARCH 2010 - A FOREVER HOME! Ginger has been adopted by the Lombardozzi of Massachusetts CONGRATULATIONS! |
