My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact foster at jesseaiu1000@gmail.com

-Affectionate cuddle bug who just wants to be pet
-Likes treats so should be easier to train
-Curious guy who loves exploring
-Constantly smiling
-Sweet, loving + happy boy
-Easy to walk
-Can be jumpy, but redirects well
-Good with children

Ernie was such a calm and sweet boy. He rode in the car very well and was uncrated and unaccompanied in my bedroom while I had to leave the house for a couple of hours. He showed absolutely no signs of separation anxiety and only had one accident in the house!
He seemed to be about 75% housebroken.
He showed interest in my cats but no aggression. He did follow one around and seemed to want to play but was easily redirected when he got too excited.
He tolerated my resident dog well but did show some resource and human guarding- which I was still able to redirect him from.
He is clearly such a smart boy and deserves an amazing family - I think he will be incredibly in tune with an individual or family as he matures. He is so eager to please and really stole my heart in the short time I had him
