About Ernie
Ernie arrived on transport with his two brothers last weekend and is now settling into foster care while he waits for his forever family.
This sweet little boy is a bit shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe and comfortable, he's all love, affection, and cuddles. Ernie may be timid at first, but beneath that cautious exterior is a gentle soul who just wants to be close to his people.
Toys aren't really his thing, but food and treats are definitely the way to his heart! He's also doing well on his lead and halter and enjoys getting out and exploring the world at his own pace.
Ernie would thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog to show him the ropes, or with someone who is home often and can give him plenty of companionship and reassurance while he continues to build his confidence.
His toilet training is coming along nicely, and he's improving every day.
The happiest we've seen Ernie is curled up on the couch beside his people, watching TV and enjoying all the comforts of home. ❤️
If you're looking for a gentle, loyal companion who just needs a little time to blossom, Ernie could be the perfect addition to your family.
As with all puppies, we recommend training to make him the best version of himself and for future families to expect the usual puppy shenanigans (expect socks and shoes to be relocated from time to time!)
Age – 4-5 months is our best guess
Weight – approx. 6kg
Vet work- vaccination status – puppy vaccination (future vaccinations to be the responsibility of his forever family), flea and worm treated
Desex Y (when he is of age covered in his adoption fee)
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
At Village Tails, we strive to make the adoption process as seamless as possible. We understand that bringing a new pet into your home is a big decision that will enrich your life in countless ways. That’s why we’ve developed a clear, step-by-step guide to help you find your perfect match and provide a loving home for one of our precious animals. Our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way, from your initial interest to the joyful day you bring your new friend home.
How to Adopt: A Step-By-Step Guide:
1. Browse Our Selection: Visit our Animals page and use the menu to view the various pets we have available. Choose between cats and dogs to narrow your search.
2. Expression of Interest: Found a pet that captures your heart? Reach out to us for an Expression of Interest (EOI) form to initiate the process.
3. Patience is a Virtue: We meticulously review every EOI to ensure each animal goes to the right home. Thank you for your patience during this critical stage.
4. Meet Your Potential Pet: If your EOI is approved, we'll organise a Meet & Greet session. It’s a great opportunity for both you and the animal to see if it’s a perfect match.
5. Adoption Application & Home Review: If you're ready to move forward, you'll need to complete our adoption application and agree to a home review.
6. Review & Approval: Your application and home review will be assessed to guarantee a secure, loving environment for your potential pet.
7. Adoption Fee: Upon approval, you'll be required to pay the non-negotiable adoption fee. This fee directly supports our animal care efforts.
8. Welcome Home: Once the fee is processed, we'll coordinate the special day when you can bring your new pet home.
