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 with the sweetest, squishiest love bug personality. He sports a happy pittie smile, soulful amber eyes, adorable forehead wrinkles, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day. Ernie is a well-mannered boy who is fully potty trained, crate trained, walks wonderfully on leash, knows "sit," and has been a dream living with other large dogs in his foster home. He's truly a dog who makes you wonder how he's still waiting for his forever family.
Ideal Home
Ernie is a social butterfly who loves being included in family activities. He would thrive in a home where he can be by your side, whether you're relaxing indoors or enjoying the outdoors. He does not get along with cats, so a cat-free home is a must.
Ongoing Health
Ernie is a healthy boy. All vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea/heartworm prevention, and a microchip, are included in the adoption fee.
Training & Support
Ernie is already a well-behaved dog with fantastic house manners. He is potty trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. His signature move is the "sploot," which he performs with artistic flair in various situations! When he's not perfecting his sploot, he loves to carry around his beloved stuffed toys. He also enjoys playing chase with his doggy friends. Ernie has a great off-switch and is just as happy cuddling as he is playing. He has also shown to be gentle and respectful with children.
