Ernie - 11 Week Old Kelpie X (Trial)

Hi! My name is Ernie! I am looking for my forever home!

I love a snuggle and often fall asleep in my foster parents lap. I am super sociable and love meeting new people, winning them over with my cheeky grin!

I am a sweet boy with the gorgeous tan markings of a kelpie, but my coat is quite fluffy and soft, almost like a border collie. My foster parents just say I am 100% cheeky!

My foster family have taken me in only recently, and I have thrived in my new environment.
I love playing with my brother and exploring our backyard. I have little bursts of energy and love grabbing toys to play tug with. I also love snuggling up with soft toys.
I am a smart boy, having already gotten the basics of toilet training and learning to come to my name and sit on command. I am very food-motivated, which helps!

I think I would thrive in an environment with a people home most of the week, or some other dog siblings to play with and show me the ropes.
Please contact my foster parents if you think I would be a good fit for your family!

Ernie’s Summary:
- Needs some home the majority of the week or a friendly adult dog who can show me the ropes
- Best suited to school aged children
- Puppy Preschool is always recommended for puppies to help them get ready for basic training and socialisation.

Ernie is in foster care in Mayfield, Newcastle, NSW. The adoption fee is $700 which includes his first two vaccinations, microchipping, worming and desexing fee. Since he is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. He'll need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when he's 5 to 6 months old.
