My story

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

Meet Onyx – The Smart, Spirited Adventurer 

Onyx is a handsome 4-year-old Lab/Kelpie mix weighing about 45 lbs. This intelligent, high-energy boy loves to stay active and is always ready for a new adventure!

He’s doing wonderfully with his training — mastering commands, basic obedience, crate training, and housebreaking like a pro. Onyx came to the rescue heartworm positive, but he’s completed treatment and is now heartworm negative and healthy!

Onyx gets along well with kids and other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats.

He has been neutered, fully vaccinated, and dewormed.

Adoption Fee: $250

If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who’s always up for fun and affection, Onyx is ready to join you on life’s next adventure!

Additional adoption info

Adoption fees BEGIN at $100 for cats and kittens but are higher based on care an animal has recieved. Dogs and puppies START at $150 then go up depending on care the animal needs (this means they may be more). An application and references are necessary and I reserve the right to deny adoption if not a good match.

More about this rescue

We do this to save the numerous animals put to sleep each year because of over crowed shelters.
