s not comfortable with the young child in the home, and his owners want to find him a forever home where he will not be around young children. If you want more information about Ernie, please e-mail his owner at kaitstanleygmail. Ernie is a larger BC at 55 pounds, and has good house manners, rides nicely in the car, and likes his crate. He is fine with other dogs; it is not known how he would react to cats. As mentioned, small children make him anxious and he displays a variant of herding behavior that includes nipping. This nipping is likely a sign of stress and Ernie would do well with an experienced BC owner who could address this stress and the nipping behavior. Ernie has nipped a friend of the family in what could be considered a bite: skin was not broken, but Ernie needs to learn behaviors that do not involve his use of teeth. He is intelligent, active, and trainable. His owners say this about Ernie: Ernie is a wonderful dog who loves to play with other dogs and snuggle. He is energetic but tires out with exercise, a visit to the dog park, or a walk. He loves routine and appreciates consistent walks every day. He does very well with his commands and doesn't mind spending time in his crate or going on car rides. Ernie does have strong herding/nipping behavior and, unfortunately, it seems that he exhibits more of this with small children. If you can offer Ernie a home without small children, he has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Please contact his owner at the above e-mail.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
