About Ernie
Ernie our mixed breed pup is ready to find a family that will love and invest in his training.
Ernie was born on the 27 February 2022 and his breed mix is Staghound x New Zealand Huntaway x Heeler x Mastiff. We don't really know how big Ernie will grow. We expect medium to large.
Ernie is a happy little pup who loves to snuggle his humans, and tuck under their arm to dig in for comfort.
He is dog friendly, cat curious, and good with kids (apart from usual puppy clumsiness).
Ernie has mostly been outside but easily picks up cues for going to the toilet when taken outside.
Ernie can be timid and startles easily, definitely more of a follower but this may be a puppy trait he grows out of.
Ernie has been fostered with his littermate Bert, and although his foster family have trialed small bouts of separation with no issues, Ernie is likely to cry to begin with and take a few nights to settle in.
Ernie will cry when he is hungry, but barely makes a peep otherwise.
Ernie’s foster family haven’t done any recall training using his name, so his forever family can easily rename.
Ernie hasn’t had any formal training but does pick up things quickly. He will require full training and a lot of work - he is currently a blank slate for his forever family!
Ernie's adoption fee is $800 and he goes to his new family desexed, microchipped, flea and worm treated and had his first C5 vaccination. He will require booster vaccinations.

Adoption details
We like to take the personal approach where a person sends an email of interest around an animal and then we will follow up with phone discussions and email exploration through a survey.
Please note we are a small group of volunteers that balances the administrative side with the care of the animals.
Please only apply for one of our animals if you are genuinely interested in them.
We expect the prospective owner to travel to meet the animal and we are open to trial periods to ensure we have the match right.
