Meet the charming Ernie! 🌟 This gentle soul has a heart of gold and, once he warms up to you, he transforms into a cuddly bundle of affection. But let’s be real, he’s a bit of a wallflower when it comes to new faces—slow introductions are the key to winning his heart! 👀❤️ Ernie's energy level is a delightful mix of low to medium, making him the perfect companion for leisurely strolls and cozy evenings. 🐾 He walks beautifully on a leash—no pulling, just grace! And let’s not forget, he’s quite non-reactive around other dogs; while he likes to keep to himself, he’s participated in playgroups without batting an eye! 🐶✨ With the right introductions and a sprinkle of patience, Ernie could blossom with a furry friend or two. He’s not interested in chasing cats—just casually ignoring them. Unless a squirrel decides to join the race, but hey, squirrels can’t resist a good sprint! 😆🌳 Ernie knows the basics—he’ll sit and do a lovely ‘down’ when asked, especially if there’s a treat involved! 🍖 Speaking of treats, he absolutely adores all kinds of food and cuddles! Just picture this: you both snuggled up on the couch, sharing those delightful moments that warm your heart. 🥰 But like all wonderful beings, Ernie has some things to work on. He could use some extra support when meeting new people or during vet visits. His ideal home would be calm and patient, filled with folks ready to give him the love and space he needs to build trust and confidence. 🏡🍀 Once he knows he’s safe, watch out—out comes the loyal side of him that is guaranteed to win hearts! For those interested in bringing this beautiful boy into their life, the adoption fee is $325. 🌈 Together, they can create a harmonious, loving environment. If you feel ready to take the leap, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! Let’s help Ernie reveal all the joy and love that’s waiting to be shared!
