About this Dog
Adoption Fee: $300 Ernie is an approximately 1-year-old black and tan boy who came from a local shelter, so not much is known about his background. He weighs right around 62 pounds but is quite tall. This poor guy probably had never been in a home before. Floors, stairs, and dog doors scared him. But, he has started coming out of his shell. He navigates the dog door and the stairs like a pro now. He appears to be housebroken with the use of a dog door. He is crate trained but sleeps freely in the house at night after earning the privilege. Ernie is a sweet boy who wants to please, but he still has a puppy brain in a large dog body. Care should be taken when giving treats as he gets very excited about them. He also eats in the presence of other dogs like he’s had his food taken from him before. This means he wolfs it down before other dogs can take it. When he is fed by himself he eats in a much calmer manner. Ernie walks fairly well on leash but could use more practice. He would do well with more training. Ernie has caught a possum before, so no small animals for this boy. Ernie will be an awesome dog when he gets older! No cats or small critters Level 2

Adopt Ernie and Receive Ernie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ernie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ernie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ernie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ernie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ernie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ernie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ernie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ernie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
