Meet love bug Ernie <3 This sweet boy has had a rough year, but he’s very ready to settle in at his new permanent home. Ernie is a 5-year- old purebred English Bulldog who is playful and energetic and loves his people, his toys, and daily walks. After his walks, he likes to lounge. He is very friendly with every person we’ve encountered - greeting them with a slobbery smile. He’s a bit of a celebrity on the rail trail near our home, even having just been here a few months.
Unfortunately, his owner (our uncle) passed away very suddenly in June. We took him in, hoping he would be able to settle in with our family, however we have a cat and a 2-year old, and Ernie has had a hard time adjusting to being with them in our house.

Ernie is microchipped, up to date on all his vaccines and preventatives, is neutered, is in good health, and has recent negative fecal and heartworm tests. He weighs 55 lbs and is a healthy weight for his size.

He would do best in the following type of home:

• Smaller, quiet home that he can roam freely in (apartments may be difficult due to his tendency for alert barking)
• Experienced dog owner (bulldogs are a bit of a stubborn breed :)
• Single pet home is ideal but he is good with most other dogs (except no alpha males) once introduced properly
• Does not do well with cats or other small animals
• Adults / Teenagers-only - No children under age 13 (he can get anxious around younger children who are less predictable)
