About Nyx

Nyx is a striking Retriever mix with a shiny short black coat and crisp white markings. Roughly two years old, Nyx has all the energy and curiosity you’d expect from a young adult. Picked up recently in the Wingett Run area, Nyx is still adjusting to his new environment and will need a patient adopter ready to help him learn the ropes—house training included. At about 60 pounds, he’s a large dog but friendly at heart, looking for someone steady who can give him some structure and attention. Every day, he becomes a little more comfortable. Fun fact: With a January 9 birthdate, Nyx is a Capricorn, which often means loyal and steady by nature. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
