Once shy, now shining — Aemon is ready for his next chapter
Aemon is a gentle, handsome boy who’s learning that the world (and people) can be kind. He has a sweet, puppyish personality waiting to come out of its shell. A couch potato at heart, Aemon loves his rest, cozy naps, and calm routines, with the occasional burst of playfulness. He also enjoys treats and toys but is happiest lounging nearby, quietly keeping you company.
Aemon is a wonderful house dog. He’s calm, respectful, and settles quickly in his crate, especially with a cozy blanket. He can be left alone for short periods and does well sticking to a predictable routine. He walks nicely on leash and continues to gain confidence, improving steadily with each outing. He enjoys being pampered and allows handling for baths and nail trims. While he can be wary of strangers and noisy environments, he has been making progress with reassurance. He hasn’t started working on formal commands yet, but he’s eager, attentive, and responsive in his own gentle way.
When meeting new people, he may initially retreat to observe from a safe distance. With patience, consistency, and a calm approach, he slowly opens up and begins to show his affectionate side. He would benefit from living with a dog sibling, as he seems to gain confidence from canine friendships. He hasn’t met cats but does well with the household bunny and shows no prey drive.
Aemon would thrive in a calm, loving home with predictable routines and adopters who enjoy being thoughtful, engaged dog parents. A quiet area with access to a securely fenced yard would be ideal. He’s best suited to an adult-only home or one with dog-savvy, older children.
If you’re looking for a good-hearted dog who will grow with you and remind you how meaningful great dog parenting can be, Aemon is waiting for you. Apply to adopt at: www.caninehaven.org/dog-application
