Meet Onyx, a big-bodied, goofy-hearted Husky who is living proof that "lap dog" is a state of mind, not a size. This talkative guy has plenty to say and won't hesitate to woo-woo his way into your heart-especially if you have a treat in your hand. A true water enthusiast and a bit of a Houdini-style escape artist, Onyx is just as happy splashing in a creek as he is being your personal 80-pound cuddlebug. While he's mastered his basic commands, he's a "PG-13" kind of pup who requires older children and an experienced handler ready to continue his training and manage his strong prey drive. Onyx prefers to be the center of your universe, so he's looking to be your only best friend with 4 legs in the home, strictly feline-free and away from farm animals. He's a bit of a toy connoisseur and prefers not to share his treasures, so he's best suited as your one-and-only pet or with someone willing to work on his tendency to guard his toys. Though he's house-trained and ready for a sleepover trial, he'll need a secure environment to keep his inner escape artist in check. He can jump over anything lower than 6 feet, so a secure yard is a must! If you're looking for a loyal, vocal, and hilarious companion to fill your home with personality, Onyx is ready to clock in as your new best friend.
