Story
My name is Ernie and I’m looking for my forever home! My must haves: tennis balls, snacks, and a securely fenced yard. I would also love to have a nice resident dog to be my friend and help me adjust and humans who are patient and experienced with shy dogs like me. I’m 8 years old but you’d never know it watching me play and run! My foster mom calls me a wild man ‘cause I love to run around the yard really fast. I’m adapting to life in a home with humans. I came from a commercial breeding facility where humans weren’t very kind, so I’m shy at first. But once I learn to trust you, I’ll let my playful, funny side show. And I’ll let you scratch my chin! That feels so good! Treats help too – they make everything better. I’m learning so many new things. I’m working on walking on a leash and what being brushed is all about. I’m great with other dogs. My perfect forever home would be a calm, quiet one that can take precautions when opening doors and gates. I’m like many adventurous, independent Shibas who are sneaky and like to try to make a break for it. I haven’t lived with any cats or any human kids, so I don’t know what I would think about them. Foster mom thinks that I’d probably ignore cats and that little kids might scare me if they ran around or yelled. I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated – and a big boy. I currently weigh 32 pounds. I’m being fostered in Lynchburg, TN. If you live in the Midwest and want a big fluffy marshmallow like me to run around and play with, then I’m your guy! Visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt for more information and to apply to become approved to adopt. The application process helps SIRA learn more about you and your home so they can tell if we’d be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
