Hi… I’m Ernie.

I will make a long journey to traavel from Southern California to my foster home in Ridgefield, WA… by mid May hoping that my real family is out there. I can travel to Vancouver, BC if there is a potential adopter for me.

Here is my story:

I used to have a person.

I remember the feeling more than the details…
being near someone…
thinking I belonged.

And then one day…

they left me behind.

I don’t know why.

I tried to be good.
I tried to be the kind of dog that makes people smile.

But suddenly, I was alone—
watching, waiting…

wondering if they would come back for me.

They didn’t.

For a little while, my heart didn’t understand what to do with that.

But here’s something about me…

I’m still me.

I’m still the happy, fun-loving boy who wants to be part of everything.

I still get excited when I see people.
I still wag my tail like maybe—just maybe—this time, it’s forever.

Because I’ve decided something important…

I’m not going to let being left behind
take away my love.

I love people.

All kinds of people.

When I see you, I don’t see a stranger—
I see a chance.

A chance to belong again.

A chance to run beside you,
to be part of your day,
to make you laugh without even trying.

I love other dogs too.

Playing, exploring, just being together—
it makes everything feel lighter.

I’m the kind of dog who wants to be included.

If you’re walking, I’m with you.
If you’re relaxing, I’m right there.
If you’re living life…

I want to live it with you.

Sometimes, when things get quiet…

I still think about that day.

But it doesn’t make me sad the same way anymore.

Because I believe…

that maybe I wasn’t meant to stay there.

Maybe I was meant to find you.

I dream about a home where I don’t have to wait anymore.

Where I can finally stop wondering…
and just be.

Where my happy heart is safe,
my place is certain,
and my person doesn’t leave.

I promise you this…

I will greet you like you’re the best part of my day—every day.
I will love you with everything I have.
I will be your friend, your shadow, your reason to smile.

Because even though I was left behind once…

I still believe in forever.

And I’m ready to find mine.

With hope,
Ernie
