My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Are you looking for a truly sweet and down-right lovable dog? Well, I think that's me. My name is ONYX, and I was named for my gorgeous, shiny black coat. I'm a Labrador/ Chow mix, and I'm about three years old. I have a gentle and sometimes shy nature, so it might take me a minute or two to get to know you, but once I do, I'll be your loyal friend for life. I'm affectionate and loving, and I'd do best in either an adult home or a family where the kids are older and considerate of me. I get along nicely with other dogs, too. I'm fairly mellow, but I'd appreciate a daily walk so that I can get my exercise and so I can spend time with you. The shelter staff is fairly certain that I've already been house trained, but I'll probably need a quick refresher course when I get home. I can sit on command, and I can learn whatever you want to teach me if you'll just remember to be patient and gentle with me. I'd want to have a yard in my new home, and I'd want a soft and snuggly dog bed in the house so that I can be with you as much as possible. A dog like me won't just be a pet, I'll be a cherished member of the family who'll bring you comfort. Won't you come visit me? I'm waiting for you at the El Cajon Animal Shelter. They have a nice play yard here where we can get better acquainted. I have a strong feeling that once you meet me, you'll want to take me home and shower me with love. Love, Onyx" Kennel #24
