Story
Meet Onyx 🐾 (Yes we the love irony of his name) He is smart and the most chill 6 month old I’ve ever met. Crate trained, sleeps through the night. Working on potty training, only a couple of poo accidents when he’s off the tether have happened. Does well with tether training. He does try to eat his poop outside so we’ve been leash only and I’ve been giving him solid gold hoping that will help. Loves the kids. Could care less about cats. We have a couple of mouser cats and I brought by them and didn’t chase, just looked. which is great. He’s not a barker at things going on (I wish Leo had this quality 😒) he will only bark when he’s in his kennel and wants to be out. (Initially at bedtime for about 5 min and in the morning when I come upstairs and he’s anxious to get out). Loves Nylon bones, he makes good choices about choosing his toys and not hands, furniture or shoes. He likes to play with Kodi (our Shepard) and run in the yard with the kids, but loves to also be a couch potato or lay chewing on his bones. We’ve been using his shelter name, Onyx and he’s figuring it out and listening to it in the house. We are going to take him to a private dog park (I had no idea these exist) tomorrow so we’ll see how good his recall is outside off leash. He loves to lay in the kitchen when I cook but does not try to jump on counters. He’s just loyal and wants to be by his foster momma 🖤 He’s mastered sitting and waiting for his dog bowl to hit the floor before he digs in. He needs a slow feeder but still chows down like he’ll never get a meal again. As fast as an eater he is he shows no food aggression. Just a piggy. 🐽 He did a car ride with me tonight for kid exchange and he did good. He loves heated seats 🤣 He was instantly fine with our smaller dog who is passive. Kodi (big dog, more dominant) it took him about 3/4 days before they would stop growling at each other, showing teeth. They’ve adjusted, so just knowing if he goes to a house with another big dog, his fight or flight response if he’s scared or intimidated would be fight so they need a slow slow transition. We kept Kodi away completely, either on the other side of the gate or on a leash too for 2 days then we did intermittent moments of them coming together and sniffing for another 1 to 2 days. Onyx’s adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue’s care. We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are.
