Onyx

Onyx is a beautiful and goofy young (2 yrs+) male that came into rescue when his young owner was unable to provide care for him. His foster says he gets along better with the female dog at her house; he and the male still have struggles over who is "king." He enjoys chew toys and walks, and is slowly learning to be secure in the world. He has enjoyed being on the "lily pad" in his foster's pool and doesn't seem to mind baths either!

In his ideal home, Onyx enjoys being close to his humans, though he does not always want to actually cuddle. As a young dog, he can still be somewhat impulsive so he needs kind, patient, and consistent guidance to be his best version of himself. Like many Bostons, Onyx enjoys sunbathing in his yard and requires a tall fence with secure footings as he once escaped his former home by digging under a gate (and found himself caught up by Animal Control). Getting him adequate attention and exercise every day has helped curb his desire to roam and let him show his goofy side more often.

Onyx is reported to be good with older, respectful children but his compatibility with cats is unknown. His compatibility with other male dogs is not consistent, so we are looking for a place where he can be placed with a less dominant female or be an "only" dog in the home.

If you would like to meet this handsome young man, please be sure you have an adoption application on file and have completed a home visit with us. We would love to hear from interested parties that can meet Onyx's needs!
