Onyx Baby is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 5 months old and currently weighs 33 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.

Onyx is super dog friendly and has gotten along great with every dog we have introduced him to and is currently being fostered in a multi dog home with 3 large dogs and does great with them. He’s been with super dominant males, dominant females, really shy and shutdown dogs, dogs that like to roughhouse, play chase, dogs that just like to hangout and do their own thing, and he’s been a sweet little prince with them all. He does great meeting dogs on leash and even does great meeting dogs off leash as well. He is good about matching the energy of the other dogs. He will play when play is invited and will enjoy those relaxing hangout moments too. His foster says that he follows her dogs around like he is their little brother and she believes he would be his happiest self with another dog in the home.

Onyx also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him too. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for him to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!

Onyx is already so well behaved and according to his foster, already has wonderful house manners too. Onyx comes prepped already knowing a couple of basic commands as well, such as sit and is so gentle when he takes treats. He loves treats, is eager to please, and has already proven he's a smart little boy. The perfect trifecta for any additional training you would like to do with him in the future. It'll be an enjoyable bonding experience for you both. Onyx is crate trained and is working on his potty training. His foster reports that he has it down for the most part but when left for long hours he does occasionally have an accident.

Onyx would thrive in a home with a back yard where he can romp around, stretch his legs, play with his toys, and relax in the sun. In all honesty though, he is completely happy being a total couch potato as well. So get ready for lazy Sunday movie marathon snuggles with Onyx because that's what's going to happen. He'll enjoy mini adventures as well, just be prepared to be stopped by everyone because he’s so stinking cute. Onyx is the best of both worlds in our eyes. We haven’t seen Onyx around kids just yet and we can absolutely test that for you. Based off what we already know about him, we believe he would make a great family dog.

We are willing to test Onyx Baby with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.
