Ginger is a 12-year-old Australian Shep/Mix in Ogden, UT, who needs $1,238 for Tumor Removal.

We rescued Ginger when she was 6 months old. She had been previously abused and took awhile to warm up to us but when she did she was the sweetest girl. She has been such a good girl it convinced us to get 2 other dogs! I fell in love with Ginger because she looked like a dog I had when I was a child.

Ginger loves being around people. She sits at our feet and follows us around. She loves people food even though she isn’t allowed to have to it. She will sit in front of you while you are eating just hoping for scraps! Ginger is part heeler. Sometimes she will herd me to another room when she is ready for quiet time. When she does it looks like she is nipping at my ankles.

Ginger has two dog friends in the house that play all the time. She avoids them when they play as she just wants to chill most of the time. She will tease her cat friend sometimes by standing in her way and pretending to chase her. We can’t imagine a life without Ginger as she has been with us for 12 years. Her mellow attitude and chill personality really complete our family. We have two kiddos

Ginger has a tumor on her right shoulder that is fast growing. We visited the vet in January but before we were able to schedule her surgery to remove it, it started to split open. It needs to be removed asap. The tumor is benign so we want to remove it. She has more years to her. We need her.

We recently had a very unexpected expensive car repair. We haven’t had a chance to bounce back and this can’t wait. Cost of living is setting us back as well. We have a 9 month old that uses formula.
