My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi-My name is Onyx and I`m a Diamond Dog. Please ask about the special perks that come with my adoption. I LOVE: when people say I`m handsome with my silky, black fur. I KNOW: how to walk nicely and I gently accept treats. The volunteers say I am well behaved and easy to handle. IF YOU`RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE: to join you for a walk in the shade or for cuddles on the couch, I`m the one for you. I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE: I put the hunk in chunk! I could actually loose a few pounds and I`m willing to work on that. SOMETHING ABOUT MY PAST: In my previous home, I was trusted to be left alone and had free roam. I like to play with other dogs and I have lived with cats but I might chase them. I love to play Fetch. If you have a resident dog, please bring them to the shelter to see if we are a good match. I would love a furry brother or sister.
