Meet Ernest!
This sweet senior was found as a stray in Miami Dade country, Florida. Like many parts of the country, Miami faces the reality of too many stray and abandoned dogs, with too few adoptive homes. For dogs like Ernest, coming to NYC is the second chance he deserves—but it also frees up valuable kennel space for other pets in need at overcrowded shelters.
We're still getting to know Ernest, but so far he's a charming senior pup. He does have a few medical issues we're getting to the bottom of with the help of our veterinary team. This includes skin issues, which could be from allergies, as well as some problems with his eyes. Our team should know more soon, and for now Ernest is on some medications to reduce discomfort and manage his symptoms.
Ernest would make the perfect couch companion! Adopt Ernest!
