My story

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

Onyx is being returned due to no fault of his own. He was previously adopted from our rescue, but now someone within the home is allergic, and we must find him a foster or adopter immediately. Personality: Funny, goofy, playful, cheerful, athletic, communicative, very affectionate, empathetic Good behaviors: Sit, stay, heel, "get back", "go inside" understands no and what he is not supposed to do, he is obedient, empathetic, affectionate. Bad behaviors: barking, aggression towards male dogs, pulls on leash, scratches doors, gets bored easily Ideal home: someone who has a lot of land or large backyard, someone who is retired and has a lot of time to spend with him, someone with no pets or no male dogs in the home, someone active and upbeat, someone who can give onyx lots of attention and affection. He is a "velcro dog" and wants to be by your side all the time! Fun fact: he is amazing at frisbee! he loves to jump in the air and catch frisbees midair! he is so cool and athletic. important facts: he is cryptorchid and will need surgery.
