Puff the Magic Dragon is a sweet, gentle 4 year old, 15 lb Havanese mix who came to us from the shelter and has been quietly winning hearts ever since. Puff is the kind of dog who may start out a bit shy, but once he feels safe, his loving nature shines through in the most endearing ways.

Puff’s day usually begins around 8:30 a.m. After waking up, he heads out for a morning walk around 9:00 a.m., followed by breakfast. He’s happy with a calm routine and prefers a peaceful home environment. During the day, Puff mostly relaxes indoors and has a habit of curling up under the bed or nearby, keeping himself close but not demanding. In the evenings, he settles nicely into his crate and sleeps there peacefully through the night, showing that he’s comfortable with structure and downtime.

Personality-wise, Puff is polite, patient, and very sweet-natured. When he first arrived, he was understandably shy, but he adjusted quickly and began mingling with ease. As he’s settled in, his affectionate side has really come out. He loves being near his person and will happily follow from room to room, wagging his tail along the way. He’s a gentle “shadow” dog who enjoys companionship and reassurance, and he can get a bit vocal when left alone, expressing that he truly values being around his people.

Puff is more of a lounger than a high-energy dog. He’s content spending much of the day relaxing on the couch, though he does perk up with excitement when greeting someone he hasn’t seen in a while. On walks, he does very well on leash and doesn’t pull. He does get excited by pigeons and may try to chase them, and he tends to bark at other dogs while out and about, though this is more just communication and enthusiasm, as he gets along with other dogs and lived with other dogs in the shelter.

Puff is housebroken and crate trained and does not chew, dig, or get into mischief. He does bark when someone comes over, walks past the house, or enters a room, which makes him a bit of a tiny watchdog, but otherwise he’s very well-mannered and eager to follow instructions. One of his standout traits is how responsive and cooperative he is— he listens beautifully and doesn’t require much convincing to do what’s asked of him.

Puff seems to have a sensitive stomach and his adopter will need to work with their veterinarian to find a diet that works for him.

Puff would do wonderfully in a loving, patient home that appreciates a calm, affectionate companion. He’s a truly special dog— sweet, gentle, and eager to please— and he’s ready to bring his quiet magic into the right family’s life.
