Nambe is the Ginger's Legacy mascot and she's the best there is. She visits hospitals, schools, and nursing homes, or anywhere else that will help the Legacy cause. Although she is getting old and has slowed down in recent years, she still manages to keep a full schedule, delighting adults and children with her gentle personality. Nambe doesn’t reserve her love just for people; she is very fond of other animals and has a great liking for cats. Her own feline friend died recently, and although Nambe misses her very much, she continues to support the Legacy cause in her own special way.
Zap
Zap was a stray who had been electrocuted. We’re not sure how and he ain’t talkin’. He was never claimed and was going to be euthanized. Luckily, financial aide was available and surgery was performed to amputate what remained of his left ear and left hind leg. He is now fully recovered and living in a new home where he is doing great.
Scruffy
Scruffy’s original owners kept him chained outside in all weather, but Scruffy wanted better and kept running away for months at a time. After he ran away the third time, he was dognapped and brought to Colorado and given to a couple with four kids who love him very much. While playing with the kid’s jacks ball, he swallowed it, causing an intestinal blockage that required emergency surgery. His owners couldn’t afford to pay the cost, but after consulting with the Foundation’s doctors, The Foundation picked up the tab. Scruffy is once again his mischievous self and you can be assured that the jacks ball is now out of his reach.
Cyclops
Cyclops was a barn cat who had an accident that resulted in an eye infection. His owner decided that the cost to save Cy’s eye was prohibitive and gave up the cat. Thanks again to financial aide from The Foundation, Cy has received two surgeries that saved his life, although he did lose his eye. He now has a new home and receives lots of TLC and is flourishing.
Channy
Channy has been saved twice. He was rescued from a dumpster by a man who found him wrapped in a plastic bag. The man gave Channy to his mother and he has been her constant companion ever since. One day, Channy was attacked by another dog and during the fight, his leg was broken. His human, a widow on Social Security, was unable to afford the cost of the surgery to fix Channy’s leg and had no other option but to put him down. Fortunately, The Foundation intervened, paying for the surgery. Channy is once again the constant companion of the woman who loves him.
