Ernie is available for adoption from the Worcester Animal Rescue League. WARL
Meet Ernie Welcome to Adoption Option, a partnership with the Worcester Animal Rescue League highlighting their adoptable pets. Check this space often to meet all of the great pets at WARL in need of homes. WARL is open seven days a week, noon-4 p.m., 139 Holden St. Check them out online at Worcesterarl.org, or call at (508) 8530030. A good Samaritan brought Ernie to us. He was wearing a collar so he belonged to someone at some point. Even though Ernie is around 12 years old, he’s still active. In your home, he’ll check out new things and no doubt window-watch to see what’s going on outside. Ernie has a moderate heart murmur that doesn’t require treatment now but may need treatment down the road. Ernie had bad teeth; some were missing and our veterinarians extracted others. He still has his front teeth. For now, Ernie is on wet food only, but after his mouth heals, he’ll decide if he wants to eat dry food again. Ernie qualifi es for our Senior for Senior Program. If you would like more information about Ernie or you would like to set up an appointment to meet him, please contact the shelter.
