Ginger is a 8 year old Labrador Retriever in Richmond Hill, GA, who needs $10,000 for Surgery.

I was first assigned to Ginger while working for Explosive Countermeasures International Inc. Ginger and I operated as an explosive detection K-9 team, with her trained to detect and alert on explosive odors. When she retired, my former boss, the owner of ECI, gave me the greatest gift by allowing me to adopt her so I could give her a loving forever home.

Ginger started vomiting, so I took her to the vet. Her vitals were good and the X-ray showed no foreign body, but she was dehydrated. Shortly after going home she stopped eating and became very lethargic, so I rushed her to Urgent Pet Care of Savannah. She has pancreatitis, severe dehydration, and an enlarged spleen. She did have a foreign body in her spleen and they did surgery.

Ginger has been by my side through everything. After losing my retired military working dog, Dano, she helped heal my heart. Ginger isn’t just a dog—she’s family, my best friend, and my whole world. We’ve moved together from New York to Mississippi and now to Georgia. She loves to cuddle, playing catch, tug of war, and is friendly with everyone she meets. She truly has the sweetest and gentle soul

Ginger went into surgery Saturday and has to go into surgery again today 3/9/26. They said if she makes it through this she will have stay hospitalized longer. Her current bills is over 8,471.64. It will be more after all this.
