My name is Onyx!

Onyx is a 5 year old black lab mix that we adopted from the ACC about a year ago. She is sweet, empathetic, and protective. She loves to cuddle with her humans and give lots of kisses.

Her original owners report that she was attacked by a larger dog resulting in reactivity to other dogs. She will lunge at dogs, cats, birds, and people she perceives as dangerous while on a walk: that said, she has made huge strides in her recall and leash walking with consistent training, which needs to be continued.

Onyx loves to take long walks and play fetch in the backyard!

She's very well house-trained and knows basic commands. She likes meeting new people, but can be over-excited easily.

Onyx needs to be the only pet in a low-traffic, adults-only household.

We have worked hard to get her comfortable with living with the other dog in our household, but have not been successful, with her resource guarding getting worse in recent months. We can no longer keep them living together safely.
