Ginger is a “chiweenie” mix with some serious street-cred. (Not a joke, she is literally a street rescue.) Standing at a staggering 7 inches tall and weighing just under 10.5 pounds, this little nugget is by far the fiercest member of the Caliber team. Ginger’s office duties include looking cute on command, greeting clients and protecting the team from any courier who might try to enter the office too abruptly.
