7/31/26 – The Pet of the Week: Ernie!

The Pet of the Week!

Meet Ernie!  He is a one-year-old tan pit mixed-breed.  Ernie has a big heart, a goofy personality, and plenty of love to give.  He was surrendered through no fault of his own and is now looking for a fresh start with a family who will appreciate just how special he is.

Even though Ernie’s still young, he already has a wonderful balance of playful puppy energy and good manners. He’s super sweet, affectionate, loves being around people, and is obsessed with bubbles!!  His goofy nature keeps things fun, but he’s also happy to settle down and relax with his favorite humans.

Ernie is great with kids and elderly individuals, making him a wonderful family companion.  He also walks well on a leash, rides nicely in the car, and is both house trained and crate trained.  That is quite an impressive list for such a young dog!

At 84 pounds, he’s a big boy, but he doesn’t realize it!  He just wants to be close to his people and included in whatever’s going on.

Ernie’s adoption fee is $100, which covers his age-appropriate vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, neuter, microchip, and adoption packet.  If you would like to learn more about Ernie or any of the other available dogs or cats at the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter, fill out an adoption application online.  You can do so by clicking on the adoption tab at www.moaspets.com.  Or better yet, just stop by to meet hit!
