Ernie (8988)

Meet Ernie, an endearing and social pup with the capacity to be a wonderful companion. Ernie gets along well with both dogs and cats, showcasing his friendly disposition. With the right environment, this sociable dog will quickly capture your heart with his playful and joyful nature.

While Ernie is learning new skills each day, he is still somewhat nervous about the world around him. He will benefit from a new family that can slowly introduce him to new situations with plenty of encouragement and positive reinforcement. A patient and gentle hand will help build his confidence and make him feel safe.

Ernie has mastered basic lead skills, making him a good walking buddy. Still, he can get overwhelmed in unfamiliar situations, so gradual introductions are important. Thanks to his love for toys and treats, Ernie learns quickly with the right motivation. His toy motivated personality means he can entertain himself for short periods, but with proper training, he can share even more love through extra play time.

His perfect new home would be one where his new owner can be with him frequently, as Ernie finds prolonged solitude challenging. If not, a canine companion who can show him the ropes and offer instant friendship would be ideal.

Ernie's a great dog who will reward the right family with love and loyalty.
