On the heels of the messy dog fight bust in Texas, we present
Ginger, one of the lessor known Vick dogs that trekked cross-country in the pit bull crowded RV trip to start a new life with the folks at
SPCA for Monterey County. This is the same shy little sprite that appeared in the video with Tim, leaving her VA shelter kennel for good.

That was so great to see, thanks for sharing Ginger with us. The "Adoption Day" photo literally brings happy tears to my eyes! Having spent 8 transformative months with my own little damaged adoptee, I recognized all of the expressions Ginger evolved through. I'm sure Stacy would agree that seeing them blossom is the most rewarding thing imaginable.
Ginger you snapped our hearts,
Ya gotta love redhead pairs that inspire and uplift.
Watch-it, those pictures will make you late for work or hurt your teeth, they are so sweet.
Was Ginger a rooster for Halloween?
I was an angel, Boris
What a great recap and new beginning for this girl.
I thought that was Frodo in that video.
Is it possible that Frodo,Spyder and Ginger are litter mates?
Oh, the heartbreak and joy at coaxing a sweet and happy soul from a broken past. Ginger is so happy, silly and gorgeous now! Stacey, you and Ginger did a great job and make a perfect pair!
YAY Stacy and Ginger....you've found each other! What a heartwarming story!
YAY Stacy and Ginger....you've found each other! What a heartwarming story!
You can definitely see that worried wrinkled brow from the first picture become a smooth and happy smile in the final ones. What a great job and a great match.
Giger you have hit the doggy lottery in finding your momma. I can see how spoiled with affection you are. Eat it up girl, you deserve it!!
Ginger you are so sweet.
Thank you Stacy!
Ginger looks like my Bently, 'cept Ben is a male and 50lbs heavier, LOL
Their color and marks are the same at least =)
Ah Jeez! Crying at work again..what a beautiful story gotta love a happy ending.. sigh

This story warms he heart. Welcome to the good part of life Ginger :)
This series is stunning in every sense of the word-- I am literally sitting in my office cube with goosebumps! Ginger is a most beautiful (and fortunate) pittie; Stacy is a most beautiful (and fortunate) woman. Thank you for your tenacity, Stacy--it sounds like there were some tough moments. Now, we should send these photographs down to the folks in Houston . . .
Beautiful!
Stacy, Bless you for having faith in Ginger and for bringing her back. She is gorgeous - and you are a very talented photographer!

The art is pretty cool :)
Beautiful pictures, incredible dog. Hey, we'll be in Carmel this weekend! See you at The Beach!!!
oh, yay!! What a sweet story. Ginger's certainly sporting the pitty smile now. :)
Stacy - I'm so impressed, it takes a sort of saint to deal with the tears, the uncertainty, and Ginger's fear in order to give her the gift of a smile. Thank you for sharing it with us. Give Ginger-girl kisses from all of us!
Ditto to what pamipoo said;"Ah Jeez! Crying at work again..what a beautiful story gotta love a happy ending.. sigh"
Thanks again to everyone for fought for these dogs
Thanks so much to everyone for their wonderful comments! Bringing Ginger into her new life and the great big world was done with a lot of help and support from my friends and co-workers who have all been a part of her progress.
Boris: She was a chicken for Halloween - the headpiece was on a whole two seconds and I didn't get a chance to get a photo of the complete costume. You were probably an adorable angel!
Stacy she is so cute! Good job. I hope we can meet her soon.
My day/week/month have officially been made.
God bless ya!! We have a timid pit as well who just lost her partner of the last 7 years...we hope to find a new friend in the summer!! At least she has a two year old girl to get her through the sad times!
YAY for Ginger and Stacy! What a great story.
I've seen the video of Ginger and Tim before, but for some reason today it brought big ol' tears to my eyes. Just imagining how unfamiliar such nice human touches were to her (and the other Vick dogs)...well it is just sad.
And then to see the beautiful slideshow of happy Ginger with her new Momma, wonderful!!!
That dog has a HUGE smile on her face! How sweet!
I knew when I bought my PBRC calendar, and when I got the Bark! dog book of smiles, that I knew that smile! Stacy, I'm not sure who is luckier... you, or Ginger! You go Ginger Girl!! Congrats and thank you Stacy for giving Ginger a second leash on life! May God always bless your home! Mollie's Nana
