My story

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

Ernie's foster mon calls him spicy. When Momma dog plays with her puppies, she is energetic. Ernie jumps right in. He will bark at her and go head-to-head with her. He is not afraid. Ernie loves everyone. He adores people. He and his littermates are the best tug-of-war puppies ever! All 4 of them will join in on a tug toy with or without a human in there too. Most puppies tend to try to grab the person's hand instead of the toy, not Ernie's family. They understand the game.

Ernie was born on at at Evansville Animal Care and Control. From there, his family moved to a VHS foster home. Ernie is the biggest of 4 puppies. He got his mom's blue eyes, but dad's genes must be showing up in his body build and color. Since mom was picked up as a stray/abandoned, we don't know her or dad's breeds. Mom has a svelte body build though, and Ernie is stocky. Ernie is a hoot! He is full of personality.
