Onyx's Story

Hi, I'm Onyx - named after a beautiful black gem, and just like one, I'm a little hard on the outside, but with time and care, I've got real sparkle underneath. I'm a 4-year-old husky with a sensitive soul and a strong sense of boundaries - I'm not quick to trust, but I am quick to notice kindness. Fast moves and grabby hands? No thanks. Calm voices, soft pets, and sitting quietly beside me? Now that's my love language. With the right person - someone gentle, patient, and willing to go at my pace - I know I can shine like the precious gem I'm named after. Let's take it slow, sit together in the quiet, and see where trust takes us. *Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 61lbs Age: 4yrs 3mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed

Salt Lake County Animal Services's Adoption Policy

Interested In Adopting? Adopting an animal is gaining a family member for the life of that pet. This can be a commitment of up to 20 years for a puppy or kitten! Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned. These animals have been rescued by Animal Services Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner. Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for at least five days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will become available for adoption. Adoptions are offered during our operating hours Monday through Saturday. Potential adopters should plan for some time to meet with their new pet before starting the adoption process. Please email adoptions@slco.org for an adoption appointment. We want to make the best match possible for you and your potential new pet. Consider the following questions when searching: •Do you live in an apartment/condo or a home? Do you have a fenced yard to exercise a pet? •Do you have other animals? If you currently have a dog (or dogs) you will need to bring them to meet their potential new canine friend. •Do you or anyone in your household have allergies to pets? •What is your lifestyle like? Are you more of a couch potato or very active? •If adopting a puppy or kitten, are you prepared for the extra work? •What is your family structure? Do you have kids or plan on having kids around? •Do you want a pet that follows you everywhere or is more of an independent companion?
