4/23/12 Update: Darling Earnest is a sweet cuddly low-riding teddy bear of a dog! He is a smaller collie/Bassset mix who is such a quiet, calm, gentle, low maintenance dog, good with dogs, cats, kids, and adults. However because of bad breeding and extreme neglect, Earnest does have some special needs. Ernest will needs a foster or forever home without stairs and who is prepared to deal with his physical limitations. But he's such a sweetheart of a dog, he totally will make it worth your while!
Earnest has some leg joint deformities which means he just ambles slowly around but is not in pain. He will be getting hip surgery once his other conditions are stabilized, and will need to continue to take joint supplements. He has completed treatement for heartworm, and although he has a leaky heart valve and some lung scarring, he doesn't need further treatement for that. He is currently being evaluated for elevated liver enzymes, which may be from the heartworm treatment and will hopefullu resolve itself in the next month, after which he will have his hip surgery.
Notes from the shelter: Ernest Just like a huge plush bear! Meet Ernest. The biggest, fluffiest, most gentle bear you will ever find. Tipping the scales at just 34lbs, this super friendly, very low key fellow has a huge fluff factor and even bigger heart. Totally awesome and very easy going around other dogs, this wonderful dog has seen years of neglect. With the exception of one of his pictures, all were taken before he went to the groomer to have huge, solid mats of fur removed from between his back legs, belly area and plumed tail. He was a total champ at the beautician who also took the time to trim his toe nails which were so long that it looked like he was walking on egg shells. He is now safely snuggled into his igloo looking as handsome as he has ever looked! This short blend of dog (mini collie/corgi/pom??) loves everyone he meets and is ready to make your day.
