Mr. Ernie
Mr. Ernie is a male red tricolored Aussie approximately 4 years old and 32 pounds who is learning what life is all about! He lived with 6 other dogs in an outdoor pen with little human interaction, so everything is new! Ernie does great with other dogs and dog savvy cats. He is medium energy and seems to do better with women then men.
He feels most comfortable outside and loves the other dogs at the foster’s house. He would make a great companion for a playful pup who needed a friend! He is very submissive and currently avoids most human contact but is learning that people are kind and can be givers of great treats/cuddles. A leash and collar make him nervous. With kindness and gentle handling he has made some progress with the leash and being with people. He crates extremely well and will sleep through the night. He doesn’t know what is and is not ok indoor behavior so it has been a learning curve which he is catching on too.
Mr. Ernie is fostered in NY.
Apply here for him. NS4106
