Ernie is a charming, 8-year-old, neutered male Pittie/Cattle Dog mix, weighing around 63lbs. He was found as a stray and is now in a loving foster home in Houston, TX, eagerly awaiting his forever family. Ernie is a gem of a dog, full of love and ready to be part of a pack.
Ideal Home
Ernie would thrive in a home where he can be close to his people, following them from room to room. He's a gentle soul who gets excited for walks and playdates, and enjoys being included in family activities. He has a good rapport with other dogs and has been observed to be interested in cats, though not aggressively. His foster believes he would be great with kids, provided they are aware he is a larger dog.
Ongoing Health
Ernie is heartworm negative and in good health.
Training & Support
Ernie is house-trained and walks well on a leash. He is not a fan of crates and will attempt to escape, but he is not destructive when left unsupervised. If crated and aware of your presence, he may whine or howl briefly but can be comforted with treats or verbal reassurance.
