Onyx's Story

Introducing Onyx! <br/><br/>Onyx is an 8-month-old Labrador Retriever with a sweet personality and a playful spirit. Onyx is a friendly, affectionate boy who loves spending time with his people and is always ready for an adventure. Whether it is going for a walk, playing with toys, enjoying a game of tug-of-war, or hopping in the car for a ride, Onyx is happiest when he is included in the fun.<br/>This handsome young pup is mostly house-trained, knows how to sit, and has a medium activity level that makes him a great fit for many families. He loves running and exploring, so an active home or one with a large, securely fenced yard would be ideal. Despite his playful nature, he also enjoys quiet time and cuddling up with his favorite humans.<br/>Onyx does well with adults, seniors, and children of all ages. When meeting other dogs, he benefits from a slow introduction and tends to do best with calm canine companions. Once he feels comfortable, his friendly and social personality shines through.<br/>If you are looking for a loyal companion who is equal parts playful, loving, and adventurous, Onyx may be the perfect addition to your family!<br/>If you would like to learn more about one of our rescue dogs, please visit our website https://www.joshuafundrescue.org/adoptioninfo and fill out an application form. We adopt to most locations in the US and Canada, East of the Rocky Mountains. Once submitted and you have emailed the relevant supporting documents a member of our adoption team will contact you directly.<br/>The Joshua Fund Dog Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are an all-volunteer organization and rely solely on donations to save dogs like this from high-kill shelters and put them in forever homes. Thank you for helping us save lives!

The Joshua Fund Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Almost every dog and puppy we rescue is spoken for before they get to our Adoption Center near Lake Placid, NY. Every adopter who is matched with one of our dogs has successfully completed our application and approval process by: submitting their application and required items, meeting all our requirements, and gaining our approval through several phone interviews with members of our volunteer staff. Since we are a foster-based program, we have no physical shelter building for you to visit. Once transported to NY, all of our dogs and puppies either go home with their new family on Adoption Day or are placed in foster care here in NY State. What are the requirements to adopt from The Joshua Fund? 1. You must be over the age of 23 to adopt from us unless you are married. Proof of marriage is required if you are under 23 years old. 2. You must fill out our adoption application found HERE. It's an online form so you can type in your answers and then click SUBMIT when you are finished. 3. You must also submit 4 or 5 photos of both the interior and exterior of your home. Exterior photos must include the front, the back, a photo that shows how your house is situated in relation to the road it is on, and one of the fenced-in area if you do have a fence. Interior photos should include all of the interior areas where the dog will spend its time. 4. As proof of home ownership, you must submit a scan or a file of a recent property tax receipt, mortgage statement or homeowner’s insurance statement if you own your home. 5. If you rent, you must submit a scan or file of your lease agreement including any provisions or addendums involving pets. 6. Please send all files/scans via email to: info@JoshuaFundRescue.org 7. If you fail to provide these documents or leave out any pertinent information on your application, we will discard your application. Are there any adoption requirements related to my current pets? 1. We require that all other pets in your home are up-to-date on vaccinations. 2. We require that all other pets in your home are spayed/neutered. 3. All dogs should be on regular monthly heart worm and appropriate flea/tick prevention medications. What is the adoption fee? The adoption fee for any dog or puppy is $550. The adoption fee helps us to recover a portion of the expenses we routinely incur in rescue (boarding, vaccinations, worming, spay/neuter and transport) so that we can continue to save other dogs. Please note that the adoption fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. When I submit an application, how long does it take to hear from The Joshua Fund? As soon as we open your completed application, we’ll send you an e-mail acknowledgement. It will take from a few days to two weeks to hear back from us. Our volunteers have day jobs and families to take care of and they do this in their spare time. What happens next? When all of your photos and documents are received, your application file is reviewed. If your file is deemed appropriate for consideration, an Adoption Coordinator will contact you via email, phone call or text to schedule a time for an Application Review phone call. We prefer to have both the applicant and the co-applicant (if there is one) on the initial call. If the Application Review phone call goes well and the application meets our requirements, we will call your references and your veterinarian. At this point a member or members of our Adoption Committee will review your complete application file and make an approval determination. If your application is approved, we will speak with you about the available dogs/pups and work with you to determine if a dog in our program is a good match. After you have agreed to adopt, we will schedule your matched dog or puppy for transport to NY for a designated Adoption Day. What happens if there are multiple applicants for a particular dog or puppy? When there are multiple applicants for a dog or puppy, we will make the decision on who will be the best fit. We don't have a "first come, first served" policy. We want the dog or puppy to have the best possible home for them.
