About Ernie

Ernie, a big-hearted Yellow Labrador Retriever new to rescue, is searching for someone willing to help him settle into real home life. At about 1.5 years old and weighing 85 lbs, he’s never lived in a house before, so he’ll need patience with house training and everyday routines. He’s gentle but shy, sometimes nervous with new faces and situations, so a quieter home with older kids suits him best. Around other dogs, he’s friendly but can get a bit overexcited at first (especially before his upcoming neuter), so anyone fostering or adopting should be comfortable with slow introductions and managing his energy. Ernie is just looking for a supportive person or family to help him learn what home feels like, whether it’s through fostering or adoption. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
