Onyx is a young, medium-sized male Boston Terrier living in Scottsdale, AZ. He is neutered and vaccinated, ensuring he is ready for a loving home.

Onyx has a gentle personality, good with older children, and is looking for a home that can provide adequate exercise and attention to help curb his impulsive behavior.

About Onyx

Onyx is a charming and playful young male Boston Terrier who found his way to the rescue when his first owner could no longer care for him. He shows a strong preference for female dogs, getting along well with them while having some rivalry with other males over territory. Onyx loves chew toys, walks, and sunny days spent lounging. He’s slowly gaining confidence in the world, especially after enjoying his foster’s pool. Although he's a lively character, he enjoys being near his humans and does not always seek out cuddles; he appreciates having a bit of space too. This boy needs a home where he can receive gentle guidance to help him manage his youthful impulsiveness. He has a tendency to dig, so a secure yard with a tall fence is a must. Onyx is good with older, respectful children and would do best with a less dominant female dog or as the only dog in a home. He’s up to date on vaccinations and neutered. If you're interested in meeting this wonderful pup, please ensure that you have filled out an adoption application and completed a home visit with us. We are eager to find a perfect match for Onyx!
