Ginger's Story Meet Ginger, a year old chocolate lab mix. Ginger was taken in by Noah's Bark on April 10, 1999. She is one of the most emaciated dogs that we have ever seen. You can see most of her bones, she weighs 52 pounds but should be 80 pounds. Some kids found Ginger in trapped fenced in city lot. They had contacted several rescue groups who were unable to help before contacting Noah's Bark. Ginger had literally been starving. We have no idea how long Ginger had been trapped or how long she had been out on her own. Ginger currently is at the vet's being evaluated... it will probably be a long recovery for this gal, we will keep you posted.
Update 4/17/99: After one week in recovery Ginger is doing well she has gained 3 pounds... as you can see she is starting to fill out. Ginger went to a loving foster home this weekend where she is getting some much needed tender loving care.
Update 4/24/99: Ginger has been in foster care now for a week and is making marvelous progress, she eating very well and has gained approximately another 5 pounds. Ginger's foster mom says she is even "smiling" now!
Update 5/01/99: Ginger is now up to 70.5 pounds... she is almost where she should be, you can bearly see her rib cage now. Her foster has done a wonderful job and was beaming when she showed off Ginger to everyone!
