My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED (CT or IL)

** Handsome Ernie is Seeking his Bert **

Breeder release, Ernie, is new to the OMD Rescue crew and eagerly seeking his forever best friend. In fact, he’ll even take a temporary best friend aka a foster.
- 1.5 years
- 85 lbs.
- TBD If house trained but we anticipate he’ll need some time to learn as this will be his first time in an actual home
- Timid / nervous with new people and situations
- Older kids due to his initial uncertainty
- Likes dogs but initially a bit hump-y (we think upcoming neuter will help but foster families should be able to go-slow and separate if needed)

Additional adoption info

One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog.

When a dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500 ($350 for seniors) be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.

Applications can be found here: http://www.omdrescue.org/adoptapp.html
*We will adopt to approved applicants (who are able to meet & adopt in person) who live in CT and the surrounding areas: New England, New York, and New Jersey.
