YO! I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want

So tell me what you want, what you really really want

We know what you really, really want – look out Western New York – the Spice Girls have landed!

At the end of 2020, Mama Spice went under the porch of an elderly gentleman to give birth.  The area experienced a flood and the mom and her babies were lost.  Once the water receded, the elderly gentleman went in search of the small family.  He recovered all of them and brought them into his home.  Weakened from giving birth and sick from exposure to the elements, Mama Spice died within 24 hours of being found.  Knowing he would be unable to care for 4 tiny babies, this kind elderly gentleman surrendered them to our rescue partners in Texas.  These small orphans arrived at Pixie Mamas at the end of January, all weighing under 3 lbs., weak, and full of loss and confusion without their mom.  In the weeks that followed, however, they grew healthy and strong and are now ready to begin their lives here in New York.

We believe they are lab mixes and will be medium-sized dogs when they are full grown.

Ginger is the biggest girl of the bunch, but sometimes she doesn’t realize it.  She will plow full speed into her siblings, knocking them flat.  Or attempt to squeeze herself into a dog bed with them – causing everyone to topple out.  Ginger Beer.  Ginger Snap.  Ginger Spice.  She is the color of autumn leaves and fall spices, reminding you of warm, cuddly sweaters and campfires.  Everyone in WNY absolutely loves the fall season best!  Her markings are delicate as you move toward her tail…tiny white accents, like bridal lace, cross her hips and decorate the base of her tail. She is a girlie-girl right to the end!  She loves to cuddle, but usually next to her person or on your chest.  She seems to find that most laps don’t offer enough space for her to sprawl out properly.

Ginger was the first one to catch on to the concept of the potty pads, and she has a pretty good success rate, but she is still a baby and she does make mistakes.  She has a fenced in yard at her foster mom’s house and LOVES to be outdoors.  She has started to connect the dots about going potty out there… although she is still very busy playing.  Even in our colder weather, she is always the last one to come inside. 

As a puppy she is a blank slate – she is a sponge absorbing everything around her at all times.  She will need training to be her best self.  Please be patient while she is learning – she is still a baby and lost her mama very early in her life.  Her life experiences so far are a rag-tag, patchwork quilt sewn together with lots of love, but you need to know that some pieces may be the wrong size, and some pieces may be missing entirely.   She needs love, attention, and patience as she now has the opportunity and ability to become the beautiful dog she is meant to be.

Ginger is scheduled to be spayed on April 9th but we are accepting applications now.  She will be spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, flea/worm treated.  Her adoption fee is $400
