Meet Ginger! She’s a two year old female Plott Hound, and North Carolina’s State Dog has never looked better or been friendlier. An immediate sweetheart who enjoys contact with humans, Ginger is alert, intelligent, and stronger than she looks. Always excited for belly rubs and walks, Ginger also enjoys car rides and active play outdoors.

Plott hounds are known for their loyalty and courage, and Ginger certainly isn’t a skittish dog. Upon meeting you, she’s not shy about walking over and saying “hello” personally. She’s known to live up to her namesake by being quite the “singer,” but we didn’t hear a peep out of her while she was visiting the station. She was perfectly well-behaved, calmly making new friends without jumping or barking.

Ginger is learning how to be polite on a leash, since she tends to get a little excited about all the opportunities of being on a walk. Her forever home will need to have the time to play and exercise, and preferable be without cats. You can find more information about Ginger and apply for adoption on Paws4Ever’s website, found here.
