My name is
ONYX!

You may have been expecting a black dog, but our Onyx is gray- surprise! Onyx lived in one home for seven months before coming to PACC. He was housebroken and crate trained, and we learned that he will likely do best in a home without young kiddos. That’s ok- kids just aren’t everyone’s cup of tea!

Onyx also spent several weeks in a foster home- here’s what his foster said about him:

“Onyx is a lovable cuddle bug. He will sleep with you or on the couch. He loves toys but chews them up so sturdy toys are recommended. He will play by himself and keep himself entertained. He loves attention and looking into his eyes I see love, loyalty, and a great dog.

Onyx is house trained with regular breaks and with time to settle in. He was pretty good with my older dogs; high energy but when asked to leave them alone he did. He was a bit reactive out on walks with dogs in yards, but I told him no and he listened well. He has prey drive for rabbits, so probably would do best in a home without cats.

On walks Onyx pulls a bit to start, but then relaxes and walks well. He is crate trained and will go right in. We asked him to go in his crate when we fed our dogs; he did as told and laid and waited perfectly. He knows sit and paw and he comes when called. He knows the word “no” when told. Onyx is very loyal to his people. He wants to please and be loved. He is very food motivated. A goofy meatball!”

Here’s what one volunteer at the shelter said:

“Onyx is a little shy but leashed up nicely. We had a very nice gentle walk. He takes treats gently and is very, very sweet.”

Onyx is a friendly boy who loves attention from humans- shelter staff has described him as a wiggly, goofy boy. Onyx shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet Onyx today!
