Meet Ernie, the laid-back 13 year old male Chihuahua mix seeking his forever home. This 9.8 pound pup is a sweet senior ready for his retirement home. Don't let his age fool you, as Ernie can still pass as a "spring chicken!" He is a spunky little guy who believes age is just a number, so if you're looking for a new best friend, who cares about the double digits! Ernie loves with all of his heart and loves meeting new humans, happily greeting them with a smile on his adorable face. He enjoys cuddling up close and receiving lots of pets, as well as going for long strolls around the neighborhood. Ernie is the perfect couch companion, and if you're wanting a more relaxed dog to welcome into your family, then he may be the perfect one! With this handsome fella in your home, it will forever be filled with endless cuddles, lots of smiles, and laughter. Ernie will be available for adoption during our Open Adoption Hours, Friday through Sunday, 11am to 4pm. No appointments taken. Walk in only. Please see our Adoption FAQs link below for information on our adoption process. Thank you! https://hslwr.org/adoption-faqs.
