My story

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

ONYX is a 1 1/2 year old black male with cropped and standing ears. He came to rescue after his owner found him after he had chewed off part of his penis. She could not afford the surgery, so he was turned over to a vet hospital, who turned him over to rescue. He also came in cryptorchid (only one descended testical). Onyx has undergone 2 surgeries, and been in the hospital for most of a month while working to recuperate to a point where it is safe for him to go to a foster home. He has also lost 10 pounds, and was about 10-15 pounds underweight when he first came in with the injury. Everyone who meets Onyx loves him. He pulls a bit on lead, but once he calms down he walks nicely. He is very motivated by treats, so training should be easy. He is a goofy boy, though a bit mouthy, and unbelievably gentle. Right now, while in the vet kennel, he's been showing a bit of agitation towards other large dogs as they walk past his run. He has been fine with all small dogs, but is unknown with cats. Onyx loves toys, and gallops like a horse in a corral when you give him a new one. Onyx's surgeries have cost MAGDRL $4000. Onyx came to MAGDRL in August 2008.

***Onyx is a Rescue In Need (http://magdrl.org/rescuesinneed.htm).***
