My story

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


Ernie is a COVID baby, born in March of 2020. We originally adopted him from an Amish family in Ohio and have had him for just over 4 years now. He knows many commands (in spanish) and loves attention. If allowed, he'll always cuddle up with you wherever you're at. Some of the commands he knows are sientate (sit), acuestate (lay down), bonito (sit pretty), pata (paw), vuelta (spin), ladra (bark), atras (back up), espera (wait/stay), suelta (drop it) and heel. He's also GREAT at fetch. He LOVES other dogs too.

We don't want to give Ernie up, but we have had an extremely busy schedule since my daughter was born. We've been trying to make it work the past couple of years, but he is super high energy and needs more stimulation than we can give him anymore. We hate to give him up, but he deserves more attention on a daily basis in terms of activities and walks and the park like we used to do before my daughter was born.

p.s.He's never been aggressive, with food, kids or people in general
