Ernie Hound Mix Port Townsend, WA

Hi, I’m Ernie! I was brought to the shelter when I was found by animal control as a stray with my skin in terrible shape. As I have healed, I have been eager to show everyone at HSJC my personality underneath the pain I came in with.

I am a friendly, affectionate, funny, and curious pup who is looking for my forever home. When I go out for walks, people who see me have said I’m ‘walking on sunshine’, as I have the lightest, tippy tappy walk with a happy beat. People can’t help but smile when they encounter me!

I have learned leash manners and ‘sit’ quickly, and with consistent training, could learn more commands quickly too. With training, I could easily be a ‘go everywhere with you’ dog, I’m a nice size at 50 lbs. and an amenable to new situations as long as I am still receiving lots of love.

I do well with other dogs, but am overly interested in the cats at the shelter so would either need a slow introduction to dog savvy household cats or would do well without cats in the household.

I have been neutered, am up to date on my rabies, DAPP vaccines, and have been micro-chipped too. My adoption fee is $150 (+ $20 county dog license, if residing within Jefferson County).
