A heavily pregnant Pit Bull named Ginger was on the brink of being euthanized at a shelter when she was saved just in the nick of time. Susan Hicks, a compassionate animal lover, stepped in to rescue Ginger and brought her home, not realizing the profound impact this decision would have on both their lives.
After being rescued, Ginger gave birth to nine healthy puppies, all of whom were eventually adopted into loving homes. However, when the time came to find a permanent home for Ginger herself, Susan found it impossible to part with her. She had noticed something extraordinary about Ginger—cats, especially the foster kittens Susan cared for, were irresistibly drawn to her. Ginger’s calm and nurturing presence had a magical effect on the kittens, even those who were initially wary of dogs.
Ginger, despite not having milk, allowed the kittens to nurse on her, cleaned them meticulously, and seemed to instinctively know when they needed to be fed. She would attentively watch Susan as she fed the kittens, almost as if she was learning how to care for them herself. Over the years, Susan has fostered many kittens, and each one has been won over by Ginger’s gentle motherly instincts. This special bond has even helped the kittens transition smoothly into homes with other pets, including dogs, thanks to what Susan affectionately calls the “Ginger magic.”
Sign Petition Today: The Cruelty By This Man Is Unthinkable.
A horrific case of animal cruelty and domestic violence unfolded last year in Fargo, North Dakota. The details are disturbing and tragic. The abuser was sentenced to prison, but we must ensure he never terrorizes another person or animal again.
Ginger didn’t just change the lives of the kittens she cared for; she also transformed Susan’s life in unexpected ways. Inspired by Ginger’s loving nature, Susan went on to establish Today Tomorrow Forever Animal Rescue, dedicating her life to helping animals in need. She often reflects on how rescuing Ginger set her on a new path, one filled with purpose and the joy of fostering and caring for animals.
