About Onyx

Onyx is a delightful blend of Chihuahua and Terrier, weighing in at around 10 pounds. At just about 3 years old, he's in the prime of his adult life, ready to find a loving home. Neutered and healthy, he’s up to date on vaccinations, which includes DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies. This medium-energy pup thrives on regular exercise, such as a daily 60-minute walk alongside several potty breaks. He enjoys socializing and would greatly benefit from mental stimulation at home, like training tricks or playing with puzzle toys. Onyx is friendly with other dogs and likely enjoys their company, although we’re still learning how he interacts with them. He’s also reported to be social with cats, but that needs further observation. While we believe he can be comfortable around children, especially those 8 and older, supervision is always essential. His gentle nature and manageable energy level make him a good candidate for first-time dog owners, especially those with some relevant experience. This little guy is new to city living, but many dogs adapt over time. For those interested, Onyx is eligible for a foster-to-adopt program. Reach out to learn more about how you can make him a part of your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
