Meet Ernie!
If you've ever wished your favorite stuffed animal could magically come to life... meet Ernie. This ridiculously handsome chocolate Lab/Staffy mix somehow manages to be a big, strong hunk of a dog and the sweetest, squishiest love bug you've ever met. He has the world's happiest pittie smile, soulful amber eyes, the cutest little forehead wrinkles, and enough personality to keep you smiling every single day. Ernie is the definition of a good boy. He's fully potty trained, crate trained, walks wonderfully on leash, knows sit, has fantastic house manners, and has been amazing with the two other large dogs in his foster home. He's a lover through and through, happy to be right beside you whether you're sitting down, outside enjoying the weather, or just hanging out on the patio. Ernie's greatest talent? The sploot! He's elevated splooting into an art form, whether walking across the yard, playing outside, or just deciding what to do next. When he's not perfecting his signature move, he's usually carrying around one of his beloved stuffed toys. Ernie is absolutely obsessed with giant plushies and proudly parades them around the house like they're priceless treasures. He's also a social butterfly with other dogs and absolutely loves to play chase. And when the zoomies are over? Instant cuddle mode. Ernie has an incredible off-switch; he's just as happy curling up beside you for a quiet evening as he is playing outside. He was also wonderful with children, showing just how gentle this big guy really is.
