Meet the fabulous Ernie! 🌟 This little dynamo comes with a tiny body but an absolutely monumental personality! Born around November 3rd, 2025, Ernie is a spirited 3 lb Chihuahua mix who’s firmly convinced he’s right up there with the big dogs! 🐶 Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate Ernie's incredible journey. This little guy overcame a rough start in life, having been found abandoned with his littermate in a rural apartment. 🏚️ But if you think that defines him, think again! His spirit is undeniably joyful, and he packs in heaps of confidence, curiosity, and charm! 😍 Though he’s little, don’t let his size fool you; he fearlessly plays with the large dogs, proving to everyone that size is just a number! When he’s not frolicking about, you’ll find Ernie snuggling up for a well-deserved nap after a fun-filled day of play! 💤 Ernie is not just adorable; he’s also a clever little nugget! 🍬 He’s catching on to things quickly in his foster home, where he’s already mastering the art of eating like a champ and sleeping soundly in his crate. He’s diligently working on potty training (hey, little dog = little poop! 😂). While he’s been great with the kids in his foster home, a cozy environment without very young kiddos will be the best fit given his petite size. This spunky, affectionate boy is ready to bring endless joy and laughter to one lucky forever family! 💖 He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on preventatives, and will be neutered at the vet’s expense when he’s old enough! With an adoption donation fee of $450, Ernie is truly the whole package! 🥳 Please remember: To adopt this delightful poppet, you must apply through the Buddy App. Your future cuddle buddy is just a few taps away! Now let's talk about where he comes from—Ernie is in the loving care of dedicated foster homes rather than a facility. Once your application is pre-approved (after a home check), our fantastic volunteers will reach out to set up a meet-and-greet. They promise to answer all of your burning questions. All animals are spayed/neutered, examined by a vet, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped. 🩺✨ So, if you're ready to invite this little bundle of joy into your home, don’t wait another moment! Apply to adopt Ernie through the Buddy App, and let the good times roll! 🎉
