About GingerCare
GingerCare is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that matches homeless shelter pets with independent living senior citizens. This mutually beneficial relationship provides a home to the pet as well as companionship and stimulation for both. GingerCare does this by:
- Locating and training suitable pets
- Funding all pet care needs
- Providing transportation for pet appointments
- Ensuring a forever home if the senior citizen is ever unable to care for the pet

MaryAnn and Ginger
In the summer of 2009, Linzi Newth began her career as a veterinarian. One hot July day, she entered an exam room where she met an elderly woman named MaryAnn and her precious dog, Ginger. Dr. Newth diagnosed Ginger with liver failure. She, along with MaryAnn, did everything they could but unfortunately, Ginger passed away just five weeks later.
Shortly afterwards, Dr. Newth offered to help MaryAnn find another pet but MaryAnn declined as she was too worried about what would happen to the pet if she herself became ill or passed away. So, Dr. Newth began taking her own dog, Remington, over to MaryAnn's house while she worked. She was able to witness firsthand the unwavering love between MaryAnn and Remington. It was this love from which GingerCare was born, a non-profit organization specifically designed to place shelter pets within the homes of independent living senior citizens who, like MaryAnn, worry that they are not capable of personally caring for a pet. |
