Onyx - German Shepherd Dog and Husky Dog for Adoption in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

Meet Onyx!

Onyx is an approximately 1-year-old boy with a gentle heart who is looking for a patient family to help him continue building his confidence.

He came to us from a rescue mission, alongside his sister, Opal. Because of his past, Onyx can be shy and a little nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new situations. He prefers to take things at his own pace, but once he realizes you're a friend, his true personality begins to shine. Currently we do not know his exact breed.

With a little time, patience, and plenty of kindness, Onyx blossoms into a wonderful companion. He enjoys spending time with the people he trusts and continues to make progress every day as he learns that the world isn't such a scary place.

Onyx would thrive with a family that understands that trust isn't built overnight. Watching him gain confidence and come out of his shell is incredibly rewarding, and the bond you'll build with him will be well worth the wait. He loves running alongside his sister in the play yards.

If you're looking for a loyal companion and have the patience to let him grow at his own pace, Onyx is ready to show you just how special he is.
