Meet Onyx, a young, spirited, and friendly canine. His zest for life is infectious, and he loves nothing more than a good play session involving running, tugging, and water. He's a cuddly companion, always ready to snuggle up for some affection. Petting is at the top of his to do list. Onyx is also brave since his owner gave him away due to financial problems but he was too forceful for his new owner's dog. He has a dominant streak with other dogs and is playful but rough. He's a bit jumpy and will need training, but his eagerness to please makes him a quick learner. He needs to help with his leash walking and house training skills. He weighs 40 pounds and his playful energy and cuddly nature make him a wonderful addition to any active home. We haven't seen him interact with children yet. Onyx is ready to bring joy, love, and a bit of mischief into your life. Adopt Onyx, and let his vibrant spirit light up your world.(tw 9/11/2024)
