About Ernie (in foster)

Ernie is a gorgeous shepherd mix with a loyal heart and an active spirit. This affectionate boy loves chasing balls, zooming around the yard, and soaking up scratches and belly rubs from his favorite human. He bonds quickly, is eager to please, and friendly and loving once he knows someone is welcome. Ernie would thrive with an active adopter who has space for him to run and is willing to continue building his confidence, especially in new environments. He has had good interactions with other dogs and loves to play tug with his new dog friends. With patience, love, and consistency, Ernie will be a devoted and rewarding companion!
