Ernie is a handsome 8-year-old, 63lb Pittie/Cattle Dog mix who's ready to be your loyal companion. He was found as a stray and, despite being microchipped, his previous owner chose not to reclaim him. Thankfully, his foster mom scooped him up and saw the sweet, loving dog he is. Ernie is a true gem who was clearly loved in his past and is eager to find his forever family. He's a chill gentleman who still gets excited for walks and playtime. Ernie is a social butterfly who gets along with every human and animal he meets, happily wagging his tail and hoping for a friendly introduction. He's a gentle playmate who loves to be included and will go with the flow, even letting his smaller foster sibling boss him around. While he hasn't formally met a cat, his interest has been gentle, suggesting he could do well with feline friends who don't mind a friendly greeting. Ernie also has a lot of love to give to children, and his foster believes he'd enjoy a home with them, provided they're aware he's a larger dog.
Ideal Home
Ernie would thrive in a home where he can be close to his people, as he loves to follow you from room to room and his favorite spot is right by your side. His foster feels he would be a great fit anywhere, whether that's with kids, other pets, an older couple, or even a first-time dog owner.
Ongoing Health
Ernie is up-to-date on his vaccinations and HW-.
Training & Support
Ernie is house-trained and walks well on a leash. He's not a fan of crates and will try to escape, but he doesn't get destructive when left unsupervised. If he knows you're home while he's in his crate, he might whine or howl for a few minutes, but he calms down with a treat or verbal encouragement.
