About Ernie

Ernie is an approximately 2.5-year-old boy who often gets mistaken for an older gentleman due to the distinguished white on his face. He's a remarkably friendly dog who charmed a group of visiting schoolchildren, happily accepting their pets and hugs. Ernie's sweet nature shines through, and he's eager to share his affection with a loving family.

Ideal Home

Ernie would do best in a home where he can be the star of the show. He is selective with other dogs and would prefer a home without small dogs or cats.

Ongoing Health

Ernie is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Ernie is a social butterfly with humans and has shown he can be gentle with children. He needs a home that understands his preferences when it comes to other animal companions.
