🖤 Meet Onyx 🖤
At just 2 years old, Onyx has already overcome more than any dog should have to.
Onyx came to our rescue from another rescue that was quietly shutting down. The dogs we received were living in heartbreaking conditions—covered in urine and feces, with severely overgrown nails and little to no proper care. Despite everything she endured, Onyx’s spirit remains bright, loving, and full of joy.
When Onyx was a puppy, she suffered an injury that was never treated. As a result, one of her legs never developed properly, and the muscles became completely atrophied. The leg is noticeably smaller than her others, but the good news is that she still has some use of it, gets around remarkably well, and it does not cause her pain. After consulting with veterinarians, it was decided that amputation was not necessary. In fact, Onyx gets around so well that she currently walks 3–4 city blocks before hopping into a stroller for a short rest, then happily gets back out and walks another 2–3 blocks.
Don’t let her special needs fool you—Onyx loves to play! She is dog-friendly, enjoys romping around with her canine friends, and keeps up surprisingly well despite her bad leg. She also has the cutest little underbite that makes her impossible not to fall in love with.
Onyx is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find the forever family she has always deserved. All she wants is a safe home, a soft bed, and people who will love her for the incredible dog she is.
Could you be the happy ending to Onyx’s story? 🐾
