Meet Onyx

The Adventure Enthusiast with a Flair for Social Butterfly-ism

Introducing Onyx, the sleek black shepherd-retriever mix who’s as ready for your family adventures as she is to win the title of Miss Congeniality at the local doggy meet-up. At 60 lbs, this three-year-old pup is your go-to partner for everything from backyard BBQs to marathon training sessions, assuming your marathon includes lots of pit stops for sniffing and greeting every two-legged and four-legged fan she meets.

Onyx's foster reports she’s a blend of medium to high energy, which means she's always up for a hike but can also spend a Sunday afternoon chilling in the yard (provided there’s enough room for an impromptu game of fetch). She hasn’t met a cat, considers herself an open-minded individual, and is holding off on feline opinions until given proper introductions.

When it comes to her social calendar, Onyx is as versatile as they come. She loves kids, tolerates her alone time like a champ, but truly thrives when she’s part of the action. Whether it’s a picnic, a park, or a party, Onyx is your gal. Just don’t mention dog parks; she prefers her socializing a bit more curated, like a VIP event where she knows all the dogs on the guest list.

Training? Onyx has it mostly nailed down, although she wouldn’t say no to a few sessions to polish her already impressive manners. She’s the kind of dog who’s ready to adapt on the fly—perfect for families that might decide today’s a beach day and tomorrow’s for hiking.

Onyx is currently rocking the boarding life, showing off how well she manages when left to her own devices, though she’s very much looking forward to having a family to call her own. Her foster raves about her being an exceptional buddy for an active person or family who loves to explore and embrace life’s adventures.

So, if you’re looking for a dog who’s not only gorgeous but also has the personality to match, Onyx might just be your perfect match. Ready to adventure? Onyx is waiting to embark on the greatest one yet—life with you!
