Ernie is a 1½-year-old Hound mix with a sweet personality and great manners to match. He arrived at the shelter as a stray alongside his buddy Bert, and from the moment they came in it was clear these boys had been well cared for in the past. Ernie is one of those dogs who just seems to have it all together. He already knows sit and shake, has a nice medium energy level, and is the kind of dog who enjoys both playtime and relaxing with his people. He has a friendly, easygoing personality and has done well with other dogs. We also think Ernie would do great in a home with kids thanks to his gentle and well-rounded temperament. At around 1½ years old, Ernie still has plenty of fun and adventure ahead of him, but he already has the manners and personality that make him an excellent companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and well-rounded dog, Ernie might be the perfect fit for your family.
