Ginger is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in WHITESTONE, NY, who needs $2,000 for medical treatment.

Meet Ginger—pulled from the BARC Shelter in Texas just minutes before euthanasia, Ginger was just about out of time, but thanks to the love of Shelter Free Rescue NY, timing, and a foster mom named Emily, she was given another chance at life.

Ginger’s body tells a story of survival—years of abuse, neglect, overbreeding, and even being shot at. She’s battling heart failure from untreated heartworm, mange, arthritis, and two BB gun wounds that still show up on her X-rays.

And yet, despite it all, she continues to fight, greet each day with hope, and trust the gentle hands that now care for her.

Ginger is safe in an incredible foster home, but her medical needs are overwhelming. Her ongoing treatments, medications, and care costs are adding up fast—and we need your help to keep her fighting.

Every dollar goes directly toward Ginger’s medical care and gives her the comfort, love, and dignity she deserves in her golden years.

💛 Please donate today to help Ginger continue her journey from pain to peace. Together, we can show her that love always wins. Hopefully, she will find her forever home soon who will unconditionally love her.

Update 10/26/25 Shelter Free Rescue NY is continuing to work with a cardiologist for Ginger to treat her heart failure from untreated heartworm. She can't breath on her own, so she is on oxygen and undergoing multiple treatments. Please continue to support her!

Update 12/5/25 Ginger is still battling heartworm, but she's facing it like a warrior. She is on meds that keep her calm to be able to fight the heartworm. She has a home oxygen kit in case of an emergency.

1/5/26 Update

Ginger will soon be going for her 5 heartworm injections that are desperately needed. Hopefully, our girl is strong enough to survive them.

Her amazing foster mom has been taking phenomenal care of her. Ginger had a scare and was back at the hospital, but now she is back home and resting for her upcoming treatment. Thank you for your continued support as she continues to fight!
