Ginger Rose is a blind 7-year-old female cocker spaniel that was on her way to being euthanized after her owner lost her home. She was turned over to dog authorities because her owner lost her home in a furnace explosion.

The owner of the dog wanted her put down, thinking no one would adopt a blind dog, but she was spared after showing what a sweet and happy girl she is.

She has a very sweet and friendly disposition and is now available at the Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA in Minersville, PA.
