About Ernest

Ernest (A291530) is a 9 month old shepherd mix looking for a family to help him become the amazing dog he's meant to be. Ernest has been waiting at Pinal County Animal Care and Control since June 21, 2026, which is a long time for such a young shepherd type dog. He's ready to leave shelter life behind and begin the life every puppy deserves. Ernest is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys attention, takes treats gently, and loves spending time with people. He is very intelligent and eager to learn, making him an excellent candidate for continued training. As a typical 9 month old puppy, Ernest is active and energetic. He can become excited and jump during walks, but with regular exercise, structure, and positive reinforcement, he has all the potential to mature into a wonderful companion. If you have another dog, the shelter recommends a meet and greet to ensure they are a good match. His compatibility with small dogs, cats, and children is currently unknown. Ernest deserves the chance to spend the rest of his puppyhood in a loving home where he can continue learning, growing, and forming a lifelong bond with his family. If you're looking for a smart, loyal, affectionate young dog who is ready for a fresh start, Ernest is waiting to meet you.
