About Onyx

Onyx is a charming companion who's housebroken and crate trained, ready to fit right into a loving home. He's leash trained and knows basic commands like 'sit'. When visiting places like PetSmart or Tractor Supply, he shows no fear of strangers or other dogs, and he’s well-mannered. Cuddly by nature, Onyx loves spending time snuggled up on the couch. He has no food or toy aggression, and understands that meals are for his bowl only—he doesn’t beg for human food. Onyx gets along beautifully with other dogs, whether they're small or large, and enjoys outdoor playtime. He does have a tendency to bark at other dogs in stores, though he's currently learning to manage that behavior. He has received two sets of vaccinations, is microchipped, and is up to date on his preventive care. Neutered and friendly, he’s ready to bring joy to your home. A little backstory: he and his companions were found dumped in a rural area of Mississippi without proper care. Onyx is eager to find a place where he can thrive and be loved.
