Onyx

Hi, my name is Onyx! I'm a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to my people and soaking up attention. I can be a little timid at first, but once I warm up, I’m incredibly loyal and loving. My sister Ivory and I were adopted as puppies, and we were our daddy’s whole world. With health issues of her own, our mom gave us to our dad’s daughter. We lived in a cage, and every few days she would come out to fill our food bowl, but because she was on oxygen, she couldn’t do much else. After dad’s passing, we were taken from North Carolina to Missouri in hopes of a better life. Our new mom took us to the vet, got me treated for heartworms (I feel much better now!), and made sure I was up to date on my shots. We have a very high prey drive and managed to break out of—and into—a couple of fences because we wanted to play with the chickens. Unfortunately, it didn’t end well. We would love to be adopted together but would consider separate homes.

Ideal Home

I would thrive with an active family—I especially enjoy hiking and playing in the water. I do well with other dogs and children, including younger kids. I am not suitable for homes with small fowl.

Ongoing Health

I was treated for heartworms and am now feeling much better! I am up to date on my shots.

Training & Support

I walk nicely on a leash, have great recall, and can even relax with you in the yard off-leash.
