They are bonded and play well together so they are looking for a home where they can stay together! Ginger is a year and a half old, very smart, loving, playful and beautiful! Rigby is six and is just as sweet as can be and of course adorable! Rhode Home Rescue will be helping to place them and is looking for a Foster or a Forever home!
