My story

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

Ernie.  Once Ernie gets to know you, he can be s weet and affectionate. He is very cautious with new people and needs slow introductions.
Energy Level?  Low to Medium
House trained?  Yes
Describe how they are on a leash?  Ernie walks well on a leash and is non-reactive.
Describe how they are with other dogs?   He generally ignores other dogs while on walks. At the shelter, he participated in playgroups and did well with other dogs. When he first arrived, he didn’t get along with the resident dog, but he’s been improving as he decompresses and relaxes. He could potentially live with other dogs with proper introductions and patience.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Ignore cats we meet on walks (cats not moving); sometimes will chase a squirrel if it runs, but will continue walking easily.
Commands they know?  He knows how to sit and down.
What are their favorite things? Cuddles, kisses, go out for walks, and all kinds of food/treats
What do they need to work on? Coping with stress - meeting new people, vet visits, visitors in the home, etc
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? He is fine being left alone. He is calm and generally sleeps when left alone.  
Where do they sleep? His bed
What is their ideal home? 
He would do best in a calm, patient home with people who understand his needs and are willing to give him the time and space to build trust and confidence. A quieter environment, with fewer visitors, would help him feel more secure as he continues to adjust. Once he feels safe, he’ll show what a genuinely wonderful, loyal boy he is.

More about this rescue

Every Pet's Dream is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Foster-based rescue dedicated to saving animals that otherwise would have been euthanized. We provide them a fresh start and an opportunity to find their forever home. In some cases we will take in owner surrenders.

If animals could share their hopes and dreams with us, what would they say? They would say that they want to give love and be loved and cared for their entire lives.

Every Pet's Dream believes that dogs feel safe with rules and boundaries and thrive with training, exercise and love. Cats also feel safe with boundaries, a great place to hide and plenty of love as well.

Adopt for Life and Fulfill Every Pet's Dream!
