FORKED RIVER – The Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park Shelter have announced that the dog Ginger, who was found last month, is now available for adoption.
At the end of December 2020, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park Shelter released a statement about an abandoned dog found in the woods in Barnegat. The young female Siberian husky mix, now named Ginger, was found left in a crate in a wooded area near a gun club. After a member of the club found the pup with no one around, the Barnegat Police Department and the Humane Law Enforcement Officer for Barnegat were immediately alerted of the incident.
AHS’s ACO Maria Cymanski was then dispatched to the scene and brought Ginger back to the Associated Humane Societies facility.
The AHS Popcorn Park Shelter was offering a $1,000 reward for any information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for abandoning the dog. Although AHS can not comment on Ginger’s case at this time, the incident is still under investigation as the individual who abandoned the dog has yet to be found.
On January 11, the AHS Popcorn Park Shelter wrote an update on Facebook about Ginger and announced that she is now available for adoption.
“Ginger is full of energy and is definitely not the couch potato type. She will need a home with a secure, fenced yard where she can run and play,” AHS wrote in their statement. “Although Ginger doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, she has not had much training and is a little rough when she plays. She’ll need a home with no kids due to this, and also no cats and larger dogs only. Ginger is playful, fun-loving, and incredibly friendly. She considers you her best friend the moment she meets you and she never met anyone she didn’t like.”
The AHS Popcorn Park Shelter is asking if you can offer Ginger a safe and stable home, call 609-693-1900 or email office@ahsppz.org to meet Ginger.
