Ginger is a Labrador Retriever mix dog that spent more than seven years in a shelter. She had simply watched as many of her canine colleagues were adopted, and she was waiting for someone to adopt her. This dog went from being an elderly dog with no chance of finding a family to being her most beloved possession when a photo of her went viral on Facebook. She understands her own story and how acts of kindness may change a dog's life.
The dog had been waiting to be adopted for more than seven years.
There are many pets in shelters waiting for their forever homes. Unfortunately, many animals are left waiting for years to find permanent homes, while others die without even knowing what a home is.
Ginger had been trying to be adopted for more than seven and a half years, but no one had noticed. This is how the Dogwood Animal Shelter at Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, Missouri came up with the idea of using a sorrowful photo telling her story to urge the adoption of her elderly dogs.
The photograph of Ginger went viral because it showed a lonely dog in her kennel with a sign outside saying "Hello!" I'm a brunette. I have been waiting here for seven years, nine months, two weeks, and two days. I am a good girl! "I guarantee it!""All I need is another chance." The sign indicated.
They adopt an older dog who has spent nearly eight years in a shelter.
Ginger was adopted by a woman in 2020 as a result of the spread of this story. The elderly canine had the opportunity to experience true love, and it is clear that she is quite pleased now that she has a new owner. She launched an Instagram account called keepingup_withginger, which aims to inspire others to adopt pets.
