Onyx is an 80lb cuddle bug who loves to play but can also appreciate a good nap. He loves to meet new people regardless of age, as long as they agree to never stop petting him. He is crate trained and potty trained and would make a fantastic companion for a single person or even a family with children. Onyx is a curious big guy always up for a long walk through the neighborhood. He is currently working on loose leash walking but responds well to positive reinforcement and is extremely food motivated. He knows basic commands such as sit, stay, down, and leave it but is eager and willing to learn more. If you are looking for a gentle giant to join your family, Onyx may be the one for you!

The Mastiff, a large and powerful breed with a history dating back to ancient times, is known for its gentle and loyal nature. These dogs are devoted family companions, often forming strong bonds with their owners. Despite their imposing size, Mastiffs are typically calm and patient, making them excellent protectors and watchdogs. With a distinctive wrinkled face and a massive build, Mastiffs require proper training and socialization to thrive in various environments.

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.
