Meet Ernie!
If you've ever wished your favorite stuffed animal could magically come to life, then Ernie is the dog for you! This handsome chocolate Lab/Staffy mix is a big, strong hunk of a dog and the sweetest, squishiest love bug you've ever met. He has a happy pittie smile, soulful amber eyes, adorable forehead wrinkles, and enough personality to keep you smiling every single day. Ernie is the definition of a good boy: fully potty trained, crate trained, walks wonderfully on leash, knows "sit," and has fantastic house manners. He's been living with two other large dogs in his foster home and has been absolutely amazing with them. You might wonder how this incredible dog is still waiting for a family!
Ideal Home
Ernie would do best in a home without cats, as they are a little too exciting for him. He has done beautifully with other large dogs in his foster home and seems to enjoy their company. He is also wonderful with children and shows a gentle nature around them.
Ongoing Health
Ernie is a healthy boy who has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is up-to-date on all age-appropriate preventative care.
Training & Support
Ernie is a well-mannered dog who is already potty trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. He knows the command "sit." His biggest talent is his "sploot," which he does often and with great commitment! He also loves to carry around his stuffed toys and enjoys playing chase with other dogs. Ernie has a great off-switch and is happy to cuddle after playtime.
