Hi, I’m Onyx! I’m small in stature with a big personality. I’ve got a beautiful dark gray/chocolate brown coat and my eyes match perfectly! I weigh just 35 pounds, I’m working on gaining a few pounds to be at a healthy weight.
Potty training is going well! In the short time I’ve been in my foster home, I’ve learned about routines. I still have some work to do, as I haven’t learned how to let my foster mom know when I have to go outside. We’ve learned that it’s best if I go outside immediately after being let out of my kennel. 🙂 I’m making good progress on kennel training. It's not my favorite place, I’d rather be close to my person/people. I have some separation anxiety – if my foster mom is out of sight, I’ll let her know she needs to come back soon.
I was previously in a home with two little humans (ages 4 and 2). It was a very busy household, I’d prefer a quieter home with less excitement. I should be the only pet in the home. While I get along with one of my senior foster siblings, I don’t do well when other dogs bark at me. Snuggling is my area of expertise, if I can have my person all to myself, that would make me a very happy pup!
Other things to mention about me: baths are awesome – I love spa time! I eat from a slow-feed bowl because I inhale food. I have a stellar vertical leap, I can clear baby gates with no problem. I walk great on a leash! I haven't met any new dogs on my walks, as walks are brand new to me so learning leash manners is priority number one.
If you’re looking for the perfect sized lap dog and a sweet cute snuggling expert, I’m your gal! My future home should keep a routine, help teach me manners, and be patient. I have so much to offer to my future family! Could this be you?
