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 is sure to bring a smile 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. 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 currently being fostered in San Antonio.
Ideal Home
Onyx would do best in a semi-active to low-activity household where she can enjoy short walks and plenty of relaxing time. She would do best with older, dog-savvy children ages 7-12.
Ongoing Health
Onyx has a bit of arthritis, which is why she enjoys a slower pace.
Training & Support
Onyx is house-broken, sleeps in her crate at night by choice, and can be crated for 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. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends.
