Onni - Hound and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hello friends! My name is Onni, and I'm the kind of girl whose big giant heart is apparent as soon as you meet me. I'm having so much fun exploring all the new things life in rescue has to offer. My foster mom tells me I have the most beautiful smile, and I have an adorable habit of placing my paw gently on people to get them to notice me. I learned how to sit politely for snacks and pets in just a couple minutes, so I know I'll be an eager learner and would love to continue that with you. I've been friendly with every human (young and old) and dog I've met so far - I even gave gentle kisses to the neighbor kids who came to visit me too. Before I forget - I LOVE tummy rubs, so I hope you can stay focused while I cuddle next to you with my legs flopped in all directions just to soak those up.

Onni brings a fun contagious energy with her everywhere she goes. She loves to meet new people and other dogs and will try to get anyone to play! At the same time, she loves to settle in for snuggles and pets and loves to lounge with you too. She's got a fantastic start at her potty training and rides well in the car too. At night, she sleeps soundly in her pen. Onni will be a wonderful fun-loving companion for almost any person or family.

Onni is estimated to be 14 weeks old and 21 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

To create a world where all companion animals are loved, respected and have a home.
