Story
Meet Ernie!Ernie is a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his personality! This handsome boy is a little quirky, a little wobbly, and absolutely perfect in his own special way.Ernie has Wobbler Syndrome, which means he moves through life a little differently than most dogs. His balance can be a bit off, and he may have some mobility challenges, but he doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying the things he loves most: affection, snacks, and making people laugh with his silly antics.He’s the kind of dog who will keep you smiling with his goofy expressions, awkward zoomies, and happy tail wags. Ernie is incredibly sweet, loves being around his people, and is happiest when he’s included in the fun—whether that’s a short stroll, relaxing in the yard, or simply lounging nearby soaking up attention.Ernie is looking for a family who sees the beauty in the imperfect and understands that sometimes the best dogs come with a few extra quirks. He may need a little extra support and a home that can accommodate his special needs, but in return, he’ll offer endless love, laughter, and companionship.If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind best friend with a goofy soul and a heart of gold, Ernie might just be your perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:63 lbsHOME TYPE:Minimal stairs for Ernie to navigateCHILDREN:Older kids that are dog savvyCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Potentially with proper introductionsOTHER DOGS:Not recommended due to Ernie`s Medical needsACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:Moderate to High; will need lots of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization and basic training in a medically appropriate mannerAt HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are.
