Ernie

Ernie's ideal home

Ernie is a 3 year old Greyhound looking for a patient and understanding family to help him settle into his new home. He would like to be the only pet in the home but could have some similar size doggy friends to socialise with outside of the home. Ernie does have a high prey drive and so will need to be walked on lead and muzzled when in public as he is very interested in anything small and fluffy! He will need a decent sized, secure garden of his own so he has space for zoomies and lazing in the sunshine. He has started his muzzle training and will need to continue this once in the home, our training and behaviour team can help advise you on this. Ernie can be worried by cars so would prefer walks to be easily accessible from home without the need to travel until he has built his confidence up around cars a bit. Ernie is a friendly boy and could live with children of secondary school age or older that can appreciate he can be worried by loud noises and sudden movements.

Could you be Ernie's perfect match?

Ernie is a real sweetheart who enjoys a gentle fuss, he has been instantly friendly with everyone he has met and regularly enjoys walks with the volunteers at the centre and he walks nicely on lead. He is a real foodie so treats will be a great reward for any training and this would be a great way for him to build a bond with his new family. Ernie has so much potential and for a family willing to help him build his confidence, we know he will blossom into a loving and loyal companion.
