Ernie's Story

Senior boy Ernie is looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him learn that the world isnt such a scary place. Ernie is frightened of new people, as well as leashes and collars. Ernie will need a calm home with someone willing to give him plenty of time, patience, and positive training. Hell also need regular grooming and help becoming comfortable with being handled so that his coat doesnt become matted again. Ernie may need a little extra understanding, but helping a scared senior dog finally feel safe would be incredibly rewarding. If you think you could be the patient person Ernie needs, please call us at 828-749-3190 Or email us at shelter@madisoncountync.gov *Ernie is currently in a short term foster home.
