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 an overcrowded shelter in Houston and has shown everyone just how special she is since then. She’s a house-broken, smart, and quietly funny girl who loves to be close to her people, preferring 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-trained and sleeps in her crate at night by choice. She 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. She can get a little excited on leash when greeting new dog friends, which is something to be mindful of.
