Meet Onyx, a charming 7-year-old Chi Dachshund mix weighing around 20lbs. This sweet 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 house-broken, smart, and quietly funny lady who loves to be close to her people, preferring to sit beside you rather than on top of you. One of her 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.
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 has done well with respectful kids ages 7-12 and would do best with older, dog-savvy children. She enjoys running around with other dogs but can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends. She hasn't been around cats yet.
Ongoing Health
Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventatives. She does have a bit of arthritis, so she enjoys a slower pace.
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 does get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends.

Transporation
Onyx is currently being fostered in San Antonio, but can transport out of state to the right approved adopter. Transports run every few weeks, and she will be on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time.
