About Ernest

Meet Ernest, a charming little fellow eager to be your companion. This playful pup takes a moment to warm up to new faces, but once he does, he’s all about being your cuddle buddy, often seeking a lap to call home. In his foster home, Ernest enjoys time with dogs of all sizes and even gets along with the resident cats. Known for his hilarious antics, he's been spotted dancing on his hind legs—training to 'boogie' on command is underway! Leash training is going well, and he knows to do his business outside. Although he’s quiet in his kennel overnight, he prefers not to be confined if he can hear some fun happening around him. So, apartment living might not be ideal for Ernest unless your walls are soundproofed. If you want a lively buddy who’ll greet you with enthusiastic hops every time you come home, Ernest might just be the perfect match for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
