Onyx in Texarkana TX

My story

Onyx is a female Yorkie/Shih Tzu. She is 1-2 years old and weighs 10 lbs. Onyx is spayed, vaccinated including rabies. She tested heartworm negative and is on monthly preventive. Onyx is ready for adoption. Onyx was owner surrendered very pregnant to a western Arkansas shelter during the super cold time in January when her owner couldn’t provide adequate shelter for her. She was placed with a foster to prepare and have her puppies safely. The puppies are all adopted and now it is Onyx’s turn. Onyx is a sweet girl. She needs a little time to warm up to new people (hours not days) and may take longer with some men. Onyx is very skeptical of very young children. She is playful with people (older children are fine) and dogs and toys. We don’t think Onyx had much of a puppyhood so she is still very puppy-like. She is crate trained and does well with potty with a little owner awareness. She is working on leash walking. Onyx will let you know when she wants attention. Over-doing the attention early on may contribute to a bit of separation anxiety, but we can give you some guidance about how to start off successfully with her. Overall Onyx is a doll and will make someone a wonderful companion and friend. She needs a 4 ft or taller fence and outdoor supervision. No doggie door. Onyx would prefer a furry friend.
