Onyx

Profile

Meet Onyx!  She is a 5 month old Golden Retriever/Black Lab mix.  Onyx was rescued from a neglectful situation in Iowa along with her sister and brother.

She had her first vet visit today and she weighed in at 21 pounds. She is thin for her age but in our household that's not an issue! She is being fed nutritious puppy food to make sure she gets the nutrients she needs. Onyx is now all up to date now on her vaccinations and is on medications to get rid of the flees she arrived with! Yucky! But other than that she is a perfectly healthy, playful puppy.

Onyx is a very energetic puppy. She is my daughter's little shadow and won't leave her side! She gets walked at least once a day, so she is a pro by now.  She stays right by me and drinks from a water bottle. Any time we sit down she wants to be in our laps cuddling and giving us kisses.  During the night she sleeps in a crate in our bedroom.  Not a sound comes from the crate when you put her inside for the night.  I don't believe she is housebroken, but has not had any accidents in the house yet.  We watch her very carefully and take her out often.  She also keeps her crate clean during the night.

Onyx does need obedience training. Around our other dogs she guards her toys and will take toys from the other dogs. Like many puppies, she jumps up on people and is just starting to bite.  With many toys around her though, she keeps busy biting those!  She will need her forever home to be committed to training her in the basic dog manners. We are currently working with her every day on walking, sitting, and not jumping up and she learns very well. While around our other two dogs she watches them and picks up on many things they do.

We are currently scheduling her an appointment to be spayed and then she will be available for adoption.
