Story
Meet Little Ernie - Toy Australian Shepherd Pup
Born on September 18, 2024, Ernie is a tiny bundle of just 10 pounds, but he carries a world of love inside him. This sweet pup is still finding his way, slowly discovering that humans can be kind and safe. It’s a beautiful journey to watch — Ernie is beginning to come to his foster family for gentle snuggles, opening his heart bit by bit.
Ernie’s spirit shines brightest when he’s with his furry friends. He’s fantastic with other dogs, bounding energetically through the grass with endless enthusiasm. After a joyful romp, he’s eager to switch gears and seek affection from his humans, craving connection and comfort.
Though Ernie’s past may have been uncertain, his future is full of hope — a hope for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished. If you’re looking for a little dog with a big soul who’s ready to grow in trust and love, Ernie might just be your perfect match.
Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax.
Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog.
Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only.
Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.
