Onyx

Meet Onyx, a sweet and charming 7-year-old Chi Dachshund mix who weighs around 20lbs. This gentle girl has a calm spirit and a personality that will bring smiles to your face every day. Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and up-to-date on all her preventatives, making her ready to find the loving home she truly deserves. She was rescued from the euthanasia list at an overcrowded shelter in Houston, and since then, she's been showing everyone just how special she is.

Ideal Home

Onyx would thrive in a semi-active to low-activity household where she can enjoy short walks and plenty of relaxation. She loves a good walk but prefers a slower pace, and enjoys settling in for neck scratches, belly rubs, and cozy naps. She would do best with older, dog-savvy children, ages 7-12.

Ongoing Health

Due to her age, Onyx has some arthritis, which is why a slower pace is recommended for her.

Training & Support

Onyx is house-trained and sleeps in her crate at night by choice. She can be crated for up to 10 hours if needed. She does not resource guard or show food aggression. She is also trusted to free roam the house without being destructive. When greeting new dogs on leash, she can get a little excited.
