Meet Onyx! 🌟 This delightful and rambunctious 5-year-old pup is a bundle of joy packed into 70 pounds of pure love! 💖 With a spirit so vibrant, he just radiates happiness—and is always ready to bring a smile to anyone's face! Having lived with grade school kids, and now teenagers and another dog, Onyx has mastered the art of being your faithful companion. Just picture him, hopping onto the couch, thinking he's a lap dog, and snuggling up beside you while you laugh at his adorable goofy antics! It’s practically a sitcom waiting to happen! 😂 Though he gets along well with other dogs, Onyx has a high-energy playfulness that requires a partner who’s just as enthusiastic about fun and games! He should ideally be around other dogs that love to romp and play; older dogs or those who’d rather lounge and snooze might not appreciate his zest for life. And while Onyx is friendly with cats, a bit of caution is needed—he must be kept separate during those away-from-home moments as he often struggles to dial back his excitement! With his size and strength, Onyx is a strong, vibrant dog who proudly sports his house training badge! 🏅 He’s familiar with basic commands like 'sit' and 'shake' and is acing his leash skills with a Gentle Leader harness—though pack your patience; he can get a bit enthusiastic if he spots anything furry! Recently, Onyx has faced some health challenges with his knees, specifically a bilaterally torn cranial cruciate ligament. But here’s where the magic happens: despite that, he’s still got a zest for life and is living his best life with just medical management. There may even be opportunities for surgical assistance through Underdog Pet Rescue for eager adopters! 🏥 Imagine spending sunny afternoons together, with Onyx lounging in the sun or energetically exploring the backyard!
