About Aragon

Aragon is a 6-month-old Shiba Inu and Husky mix with a small build and striking white and cream coloring. He’s on the shy side and needs a patient person who can offer steady one-on-one attention. He’s spent most of his young life around his litter mates and other dogs, so people are still new to him, but he’s slowly warming up. Right now, he’s just starting to get the hang of leash walking and potty pad training. With some time and kindness, he should gain confidence and settle in well. Ready to see him grow into his own?
