About Ergot

Meet Ergot, an incredibly special dog who embodies everything great about canine companionship. He is gentle, kind, and sweet; traits that truly stand out. Though his name evokes images of a parasitic fungus, Ergot himself is anything but. At 7 years old, he’s developed quite the charming personality. He won't chew your shoes or have accidents in the house. Instead, he prefers to cuddle, snooze, and enjoy leisurely walks. Ergot thrives in the company of friendly, calm dogs. He adores the children he encounters and is sociable with strangers. Car rides and outdoor adventures make him light up with joy, especially when treats are in the mix. He is crate-trained and fully potty trained, making him a great addition to your home. Ideally, he’d love a person who enjoys snuggles, and while a canine companion would be a bonus, it’s not essential.
