About
Are you looking for a spirited, loving adventure buddy who’s equally happy to curl up with you at the end of the day? I’m Ginna, a 4-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix with a gentle nature and a heart full of love. I’m 45 pounds of loyalty, affection, and fun, ready to explore the world by your side.
Personality
I’m playful, affectionate, and I love spending time with my foster family. I’m a bit of an attention hog, so if there’s love being shared, I’ll jump right in! I have a unique play style—sometimes I make a little growling noise, but I’m very submissive and gentle, especially around other dogs and puppies. I take a few days to settle in with new dog friends, but once they understand me, we’re all good. I’m also a great conversationalist with my delightful Husky “talk” and enjoy chatting with my foster family!
Energy Level
I’m an active gal who loves to do zoomies in the yard, jumping like a deer and running at top speed! I’m happiest when I have space to play and a fenced yard (at least 5 feet high) where I can safely stretch my legs. I enjoy walks and am great on a leash, though I prefer a fenced yard for bathroom breaks.
Skills and Training
I’m house-trained and will bark to let you know I need to go outside. I’m quiet in my crate, walk well on a leash and take treats very gently. I know how to “sit” and greet both adults and kids politely when introduced slowly. I am wary of new people, especially young children, so I need a home with calm, patient introductions to new faces. With some time, I warm up—my foster mom’s 4-year-old grandson is now a buddy I gently lick on the face!
Companionship
I’m looking for an active, calm household where I can play, learn, and settle in. I love spending time with other dogs and would do best with a family that enjoys both outdoor adventures and peaceful evenings. With my foster family, I’ve shown how gentle I can be with puppies and how affectionate I am once I know my people.
Love and Affection
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, devoted companion who’s equally up for outdoor adventures and indoor snuggles, I’m the perfect gal for you. I’ll keep you entertained with my Husky charm, love you endlessly, and be the loyal friend you’ve been waiting for. Apply to meet me today, and let’s start our journey together!

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
