About Ernie

Meet Ernie! This handsome 2-year-old, 50lb shepherd mix is a true charmer with his striking russet-red and black coat, expressive ears, and a face full of personality. Ernie is the perfect blend of an athletic adventure buddy and an affectionate shadow, always eager to be a part of his people's lives. He's friendly, curious, playful, and wonderfully smart, and he gets along great with dogs of all sizes. Ernie brings a fun, gentle energy wherever he goes, and his ability to go from a mischievous look to melting into your arms for affection makes him utterly lovable.

Ideal Home

Ernie would thrive in a home that embraces his playful spirit and enjoys his affectionate nature.

Ongoing Health

Ernie is medium-sized, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.

Training & Support

Ernie is already polished where it counts, but he still has that joyful, goofy spark that makes him impossible not to love. He's a loyal sidekick with brains, beauty, and a twist of comedic timing.
