"Like most rescue dogs, Ginger came in to Dogwood with her own set of medical, emotional and behavioral issues which made her unadoptable for a long time," the shelter said in a March 10 post responding to inquiries. "Dogwood's staff and volunteers have diligently worked to address those issues and to locate a suitable home for her. She is and has been adoptable. The fact that she would be best placed in a home with no other animals or small children has narrowed the possibilities, but we never give up trying."

Days after posts and re-posts of the pup gained attention, Ginger was adopted.

“Her adopter has no children and no pets, has a fenced in yard and experience with dogs with dispositions similar to Ginger’s!” a Friday Facebook post from Dogwood Animal Shelter read.
