My story

Meet Onyx! He’s a 3-year-old, 58-pound bundle of energy, curiosity, and love. Onyx hops right into the car all by himself, ready for whatever adventure comes next. Once he’s had a chance to get his energy out, he settles in and rides well. He’s a strong puller on leash at first, but it’s manageable. After a long walk, he eases into a nice pace and seems content to explore at your side. He’s not super food motivated, but when he realizes you’re offering a treat, he takes it with the softest mouth—very polite and gentle. Onyx enjoys toys and a good game of fetch. He doesn’t always drop the toy right away, but he’s just making the fun last a little longer. After he gets his zoomies out, he happily leans in for pets and attention, showing off his sweet and affectionate side. If you’re looking for a playful, loyal companion who’s always up for a walk or a ride, Onyx is ready to meet you. Onyx has shown positive interest in other dogs. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines. To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Onyx, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
