Kennewick

Meet Onyx, a sweet 7-year-old Chi Dachshund mix weighing around 20lbs! This charming girl has a calm, gentle spirit and a personality that will make you smile every day. Onyx 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. She’s a very easygoing girl who is both smart and quietly funny in her little old lady ways.

Ideal Home

Onyx enjoys a slower pace due to a bit of arthritis. She would do best in a semi-active to low-activity household where she can enjoy short walks and plenty of relaxing time. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys running around with them, though she can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends. She has done well with respectful kids ages 7–12 and would do best with older, dog-savvy children.

Ongoing Health

Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventatives. She has a bit of arthritis.

Training & Support

Onyx is house-broken, sleeps in her crate at night by choice, and can be crated up to 10 hours if needed. She doesn’t resource guard, shows no food aggression, and can be trusted to free roam the house without being destructive. She can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends.
