Onyx

My story

Onyx is a striking, intelligent, and loyal dog who forms deep bonds with his person. He is observant, alert, and naturally protective—qualities that make him an incredible companion in the right environment. He does best with someone who understands dogs that need structure, consistency, and clear leadership. Onyx is not a “go-with-the-flow” dog or a good fit for first-time owners. He thrives when his human is confident, calm, and willing to invest time into routine, training, and mental stimulation. Onyx would do best in a stable home with an experienced dog owner who values boundaries, patience, and long-term commitment. A calm household is ideal. He is not suited for impulse adoption or situations where expectations are unclear. At this time, I am prioritizing foster or foster-to-adopt placements so Onyx can transition slowly and successfully into his next home. My goal is not speed—it’s finding the right match for his well-being and future. If this description resonates call me
