Plus, he's been fantastic around kids, tolerating their attention with grace and warmth, making him a great fit for families, even those with younger children. Onyx has definitely got the manners down. He's quite obedient, knows his basic commands, and doesn’t counter surf or show any food aggression, even around tempting snacks. This guy adores car rides as well, already gaining fans in his foster family's pickup line for those delightfully expressive ears. He’s been a dream to walk and is not bothered by barking dogs. House-trained and letting his foster family know when he needs to go outside, he's got the home routine down pat too. Just keep an eye on him in the garden; he enjoys sampling outdoor plants, but he’s very clean indoors! Onyx might be a bit selective with his food but treats are his passion, and he eagerly accepts those. Add to this his unique "head hands"—those ears seem to have their own vocabulary. This gentle giant is full of personality, ready to find a family that appreciates him for the wonderful companion he truly is. Could your home be the perfect place for Onyx’s happily ever after? Onyx is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is waived, a generous gesture for his forever family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started!
