My name is Onyx *adoption pending*!

Hello! My name is Onyx, and I’m a one-year-old, 50-pound gem with a big heart and even bigger potential 🖤🐾

Current LOCATION: Germantown MD

I’m fully house trained, excellent in my crate (I truly love it!), and I even signal when I need to go outside. I’m calm and relaxed indoors, great at independent play, and always ready for toys, belly rubs, or snuggling up close—I’m convinced I’m a lap dog.

I enjoy walks of any length and am learning more every day on leash. I can be enthusiastic when something exciting catches my eye, but I’m already making progress and respond well to gentle redirection and high-value treats. I’m very smart, eager to please, and highly trainable, which makes working with me rewarding and fun.

I bond deeply with my people and keep a loyal, watchful eye on my home. I’ll alert you when someone new arrives, then quickly warm up and show my friendly side. I notice other dogs and people while out and about but am learning to stay focused and calm with guidance.

I do best in a home without cats, and I do well with people and dogs after a short warm-up period.

At my core, I’m a loving, intelligent, and devoted companion who thrives on connection. I’m happiest when I have someone to be loyal to, whether that means being your walking buddy, your playmate, or your perfect Netflix cuddle partner.

I’m the total package—smart, affectionate, adaptable, and ready to keep growing with you. 💛
