Ernie: 1½ years, small

❤️ Adoption Applications Open ❤️

Meet Ernie! 🐶

Ernie is a fun-loving little lad of around one and a half years old, weighing approximately 12kg. Full of energy, personality, and affection, he’s looking for an active family who can keep up with his playful nature while giving him all the love he craves.

Ernie absolutely adores people and is always ready to make new friends. He’s incredibly friendly, loves a cuddle, and enjoys spending time with his favourite humans. Whether he’s playing, exploring, or curling up for some affection, Ernie is happiest when he’s part of the action.

Like many dogs in a shelter environment, Ernie can be quite vocal and will bark at dogs in neighbouring pens. He can enjoy playing with other dogs, but when attention is involved he can become a little snappy, so he would be happiest as the only dog in the home where he doesn’t have to compete for affection.

Ernie is an energetic young dog who can be quite mouthy when he’s excited, so he’ll benefit from continued training and owners who can channel his enthusiasm into positive outlets. Unfortunately, Ernie cannot live with cats. He has shown a strong interest in the cats at the rescue, pacing around their pen and snapping, so he will need a cat-free home. He also hasn’t been assessed with children, so any potential home with children would need careful consideration.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate little companion who will keep you smiling and happily join you on all of life’s adventures, Ernie could be the perfect addition to your family.

Could you be the one to give Ernie the forever home he’s been waiting for? ❤️
