Ernie's Story

Ernie and his adorable ears came to Rusty's Angels Sanctuary in November with a previous hip fracture that is now healing. He loves to go for walks, but we like to keep exercise pretty relaxed - not too long and no hikes or anything strenuous simply to allow that hip to fully heal and to not aggravate his shoulder arthritis. So, if you like to stroll, that's his speed. Ernie recently had a full dental cleaning, is up to date on vaccines and is an absolutely adorable boy. The estimate for his age is 10 years; he is between 12-14lbs and absolutely lives for snuggles!!! This boy is curious, happy and enjoys being on laps. The only dogs we have seen him be too overly interested in are ones that are not yet spayed or neutered. Beyond that he gets along great with dogs and has done well with our sanctuary cat. He lifted his leg in the house when he first arrived, then once he learned our scheduled potty times there was never again an issue. All of that is pretty common when bringing a dog into a new environment. Nothing a few days of belly bands didn't help. All he wants to do is please the people around him, have some cuddles and calm adventures. If Ernie sounds like he is the kind of guy you've been looking to be a part of your life, reach out to us. We'll have you fill out an adoption application to learn about you, his potential new home life and we can answer any questions you may have about Ernie.
