Ernie is a super-sweet, cuddly, goofy boy who loves people and wants nothing more than to be your little shadow. He’s friendly with new people, playful with other dogs, and is doing wonderfully with the cats in his foster home. Ernie is crate trained, learning housetraining, and settling into routine beautifully. He pulls strongly on leash and can get a bit too excited at times, but he listens well, is eager to please, and absolutely thrives with affection and structure. If you’re looking for a lovable snuggle buddy who also enjoys exploring the world, Ernie is your guy!
