Ernesto Tigre

Meet Ernesto! Ernesto is an approximately three-month-old Pit Bull/Lab mix puppy with a face you'll never forget. His stunning crystal-blue eyes look like little pools of the ocean, perfectly paired with the cutest freckled face covered in tiny chocolate-colored spots. Add in his adorable floppy ears and precious little curly tail, and you've got one seriously handsome puppy who's impossible not to fall in love with. Ernesto is the definition of a happy-go-lucky puppy. He wakes up every day ready to play, explore, and make new friends. If there's a toy nearby, you can bet Ernesto has already claimed it! He absolutely loves toys of every kind and could spend hours playing fetch, tug-of-war, or simply carrying his favorite toy around the house like it's his greatest treasure. One of the sweetest things about Ernesto is his favorite combination in the whole world: toys and cuddles. He'll proudly carry his favorite toy over to you, hop into your lap, and happily lay right on top of you with his toy still in his mouth. It's one of his cutest little habits and perfectly sums up his personality - playful, loving, and always wanting to be close to his people. When he's not busy playing, Ernesto is a total sweetheart who loves affection. He enjoys snuggling after a good play session, soaking up belly rubs, and spending quality time with his favorite humans. He's the perfect mix of energetic puppy fun and affectionate cuddle buddy. Ernesto is growing up alongside his litter mates and absolutely loves having other dogs to play with. Whether they're chasing each other around the yard, wrestling over toys, or tumbling through puppy adventures together, he's always having the best time. Like all young puppies, Ernesto is still learning everything there is to know about the world.

Ideal Home

Ernesto would love a forever home with another playful dog to be his built-in best friend.

Ernesto has received all vetting, including DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, flea prevention, and a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable. He has also been tested for heartworm.

Training & Support

Ernesto is currently working on potty training, crate training, leash walking, and all the important puppy manners. His future family should be ready to continue his training with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of treats.
