Meet Ernie, a gentle Shepherd mix with the sweetest soul and a heart full of love. While he may be a little shy at first, Ernie truly shines when he’s surrounded by his animal friends. He absolutely adores other dogs and even cats—he would be happiest in a home with furry companions (the more, the merrier!). Ernie is both house-trained and crate-trained, and he’s making great progress learning to enjoy walks. Having come to One Love Animal Rescue from a very rural area in Tennessee, urban life is still new to him. Noises like traffic and other sudden sounds can be a bit overwhelming, but with patience, love, and the support of a confident canine buddy, Ernie continues to grow braver every day. Ernie is looking for a committed family who understands that building confidence takes time. In return, you’ll be rewarded with an incredibly loyal, loving companion who will blossom right before your eyes. Ready to give Ernie the life he deserves?
