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 has since been showing everyone how special she is. She’s a house-broken, crate-trained girl who sleeps in her crate by choice and can be trusted to free roam the house without being destructive. She doesn’t resource guard or show food aggression. One of Onyx’s cutest quirks is how she flops down spread eagle on the floor or out in the yard and rubs her belly in happy little circles. She loves being close to her people but prefers to sit beside you rather than on top of you. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who simply wants to be near you and loved, Onyx might just be your perfect match.
Ideal Home
Onyx is an older gal with a bit of arthritis, so she enjoys a slower pace. She would do best in a semi-active to low-activity household where she can enjoy short walks and plenty of relaxing time. She has done well with respectful kids ages 7-12 and would do best with older, dog-savvy children.
Ongoing Health
Onyx has a bit of arthritis. She is spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventatives.
Training & Support
Onyx can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends. She loves toys and enjoys destroying sticks and balls in the yard.
