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 and has been showing everyone just how special she is. She’s a big fan of toys and especially loves destroying sticks and balls in the yard. Onyx is a very easygoing girl who is both smart and quietly funny in her little old lady ways. 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 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 is spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on all her preventatives. She has a bit of arthritis, which is why she enjoys a slower pace.
Training & Support
Onyx is house-broken and sleeps in her crate at night by choice. She 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. When greeting new dog friends, she can get a little excited on leash.
