Onyx is one of those rare, rewarding dogs who hits that sweet spot between playful energy and relaxed calm. He’s about a year old, with a sleek black coat and some Labrador heritage—hard to miss how much he adores running off his excitement, then cooling off for hours in his crate or napping alongside you. After nearly two months with a dedicated trainer, Onyx now knows his basics, walks politely on leash, and even hangs out at busy outdoor cafes without fuss. He’s house and crate trained, quiet at night, and content to rest when his people are busy. While he’d love being someone’s only dog, he can easily coexist with another pup with careful introductions. If you’re active and want a happy, quick-learning companion, he’s more than ready. You’ll also have the support of his trainer as you continue to help him thrive. For anyone near Raleigh, a foster or adopter who can build on his training might be exactly what Onyx needs.
