About Ernie

Meet Ernie, a sweet little guy who’s just full of love! This adorable 4-month-old neutered male puppy recently found his way into foster care, where he’s shown everyone how charming he can be. His mom is a full Pug, and while we’re not exactly sure about his dad, it’s clear he contributed to this lovable pup’s personality. Not long ago, Ernie faced a rough start—covered in fleas and losing his hair. Thankfully, those days are behind him! He’s now growing back his beautiful coat and radiating happiness. He adores being around people and naturally follows his foster mom around the house. When it’s time to relax, he loves curling up next to you for cuddles. Ernie is working hard on his potty training and is doing quite well. He’s also comfortable in his kennel at night and is adapting nicely to his routine. As a typical puppy, he’ll thrive in a home ready for fun, patience, and training. If you’re looking for a sweet little shadow who can snuggle up in your lap after following you around, Ernie might be just the companion for you. He’s excited to leave his rough start behind and hope to find a loving family to start his new chapter with. Adoption is $350, and it includes spay/neuter, microchipping, and up-to-date vaccinations.
