Pet of the Week: Ernest (10/6/2025)

PET OF THE WEEK

This is Ernest, and if he’s breaking your heart - join the club. Life hasn’t been easy, or necessarily kind, to him, and we want nothing more for him than a calm, loving home where he can thrive in his golden years. Ernest is 10 years old, and his experiences are clearly evident on his cauliflowered ears, his only two remaining teeth, and the scars that pepper his cheeks. 

Despite everything we can only imagine Ernest has faced, he is the gentlest soul, and everyone is utterly smitten with him. He’s still learning that people are safe, but will still surrender to gentle petting and curl up like a cinnamon roll when being held. 

Ernest is nervous and unsure. He will need significant decompression time in a patient and gentle environment. We’re so excited for this sweet boy to learn that the world can be such a kind, loving place.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Doll of Maine Animal Health Alliance for being a wonderful medical foster while he recovered from his dental procedure!
