🐾 Hi there! My name is Ernie, and I'm looking for my forever family. 🐾
I'm an 8-year-old Pittie/Cattle Dog mix with a big heart, a goofy personality, and plenty of love left to give. I currently live in a foster home in Houston, TX, but I can travel out of state for the right family!
A little about me: I was found running down a busy street during rush hour traffic. Thankfully, my foster mom spotted me, kicked off her heels, and rescued me before I got hurt. While my previous owner never came back for me, I've never let that dim my love for people. I truly never meet a stranger!
At about 63 pounds, I'm a sturdy gentleman, but don't let my size fool you; I'm as sweet and gentle as they come. I love walks, playtime, and making new friends. Dogs? Love them. Humans? Love them even more. My favorite place in the world is right by your side, and I'll happily follow you from room to room just to keep you company.
My foster family says I'm the total package: house trained, great on leash, dog friendly, gentle and easy going. I can even be trusted to roam free without being destructive!
I've even been around smaller dogs and let them boss me around without complaint! I haven't officially met any cats yet, but I am pretty curious and polite. I also think I'd do great with kids who understand that I'm a larger boy with lots of love to share.
I'm not a huge fan of crates, but honestly, I'd rather just be hanging out with my people anyway. Whether you're a first-time dog owner, a family with kids, an older couple, or someone looking for a best friend to share life with, I might be your perfect match.
I may be considered a senior, but my heart is young, my tail still wags for every adventure, and I'm ready to spend my golden years loving my very own family.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will always be happy to see you, please consider giving me the forever home I've been waiting for.
Love,
Ernie 🐶
