Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet adorable Ernie! 😍
Ernie was saved from a bad situation, where he was in need of medical care that went untreated before he was surrendered to BARC. He’s now healthy and ready for his forever home!
🐾 Age: approx 3 years old
🐾 Weight 20lbs
🐾 Breed chihuahua mix
🐾 Dog friendly 🐶
🐾 Cat friendly 🐱
🐾 Kid friendly with older, dog savvy children
Housetrained!
🐾 Crate training is in progress. We have been working hard on crate training. He is doing very well, but his new family will need to continue working on this.
🐾 Neutered, Microchipped and UTD on vaccinations.
Ernie is being fostered in Norwalk, CT.
Ernie is a people person, and loves to hangout and cuddle. As long as he is near someone, he is happy. He is a little cautious with new men. It does take him a little time to warm up, but after a few minutes he’s curling up in their laps too. 🥰
Ernie’s ideal family will be laid back, and enjoy spending lots of time at home with him. They also need to be patient with him and willing to take things slow. Ernie is very treat motivated, and eager to please. He needs a family willing to work on training as well as setting boundaries.
