Found in a closet with no food or water, she was near death!

One of three puppies found in a closet with no food or water, she was near death, she would go on to save almost 1000 lives.

Her owner had left her and her schnauzer mix siblings in an apartment closet to die after moving out. On the brink of death, they had had no food or water for days. After finding them the landlord called a shelter and they were picked up.

The shelter seriously considered putting them down such was their poor condition, but they very quickly began to show signs of improvement. They all returned to good health and were put up for adoption.

Phillip Gonzales happened to be in the very shelter she and her three puppies were in. He suffered from depression and wanted to adopt a dog for therapeutic reasons. The dog he wanted had already been adopted, staff suggested he take Ginny or one of the puppies, for a walk.

Initially reluctant Ginny charmed Phillip into it. According to him, she wouldn’t move an inch until he made eye contact with her. He felt that like him she had feelings, that she was special. Little did he know that Ginny had plans for him.

It was on their very first walk alone that Phillip got an inkling of what was to come. Wanting to be freed she took off, making a b-line to a pipe, after pawing at it she released five kittens. Phillip said she always wanted to be out and about.

In alleyways, abandoned buildings, dumpsters, it didn’t matter where her life’s mission became rescuing cats and kittens. So much so, that she has rescued almost 1,000 felines.

Gonzales and Ginny soon became regulars in local animal shelters where they took many cats and kittens to help them find medical attention and homes. That is also where his family would grow. Ginny had a soft spot for impaired felines. One day her owner found her begging in front of a kennel and wound up adopting a blind cat.

Another time, the same thing happened, days later he discovered the new family member was deaf. Their family continually grew over the years and the ones they could not adopt or take to the shelter, they would feed. Every morning at 4:30 am they would feed hundreds of hungry stray cats.

He said it did not matter that he had a small disability check from a construction accident. He felt that Ginny taught him the importance of giving love.

She was an incredible dog, that lead a remarkable life, thanks to her adopter, Phillip Gonzalez. It’s the 10th anniversary of her passing, but Ginny has not been forgotten.
