Onyx - Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Akita Dog for Adoption in Ellijay, Georgia

Hi! I’m Onyx! 🐾🖤

I’m a handsome 4-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/Akita mix, weighing about 50 pounds, and I’m one fun-loving guy! I’ve got a beautiful brindle coat, lots of energy, and a big personality to match.

I’m a friendly boy who loves being outside and having fun. I’m looking for an active family who will spend time with me, take me on adventures, and keep me busy. I’m ready to be your walking buddy, playtime partner, and best friend!

I’m still working on my training, so I’ll need someone who is patient and willing to teach me the ropes. I’m ready to learn and would love having a person who can help me become the very best Onyx I can be.

I came to the shelter as an owner surrender, and now I’m hoping my next home will be my forever home. I’m already neutered and up to date on my vaccinations, so I’m ready to get started on my next chapter!

Oh, and I have to tell you about one of my favorite hobbies... playing with my water dish! 😂 Once I’ve emptied it, I like to keep the fun going and play with the bowl. Who needs fancy toys when you have a water dish?

If you’re looking for a friendly, energetic guy with a goofy side and plenty of love to give, come meet me! I’m ready for an active family who will make me part of their everyday adventures. Start the adoption process today!
