Ernie German Shepherd Dog Suamico, WI

Ernie's foster mom has this to say: Ernie is absolutely the sweetest, most loving boy I've ever met. His head just melts in your hands when you pet his head and face. He's not a super big cuddler but every once in a while he will for just a few minutes. He does take a while to warm up to men, but women are ok. He will however stick to you better than your shadow. He has excellent recall and good house manners. He will try to steal your food though. I can't really blame him. He was found abandoned and starved. He still needs to add a lot of weight and you can hardly see any of the scars on his ears anymore.

Ernie can go to a home with other dogs but they need to be non-dominate and well rounded. He will have to be fed separately from any other animals. Ernie still has a long way to go. I believe he was abused. Any fast movements and loud noises he will react to. I feel he will be best in a home with NO kids. Kids make him very nervous and when they get loud he gets reactive and will bark and growl. He will need continuous training. He hates the kennel but will at least walk in now. He will however bark and wine for quite some time inside. He would be best in a home with no small animals. He charges my caged chickens when he thinks I'm not watching and Clarabell (1 of 2 Shepards he's housed with) is teaching him the art of chasing squirrels.
