About Onyx

Onyx is one of four adorable pups ready for their forever homes! Discovered in a flowerbed in Port Lavaca, Texas, she shares a playful spirit with her siblings and a petite mama named Lillie, a 25 lb Blue Lacy mix. The little family was likely born around August 8, 2026, and Onyx, the black-coated female, weighs in at 8.7 lbs. Energetic and curious, Onyx loves to explore and play with her toys, especially the noisy ones that catch her attention. She enjoys roughhousing with bigger dogs, making her a fun companion in the right setting. Though still a baby and learning the ropes, she's smart and was the first to escape her 3-foot puppy enclosure. She's looking for a family who will appreciate her playful nature and is great with children. If you're intrigued by Onyx, don’t hesitate to reach out and inquire further!
