Tuesday's Tails: Adopt Onyxx!

I am currently fostering Onyxx and he is a sweet little dog. He is housebroken, leash trained and (mostly) crate trained. He squeaks for the first five minutes or so then settles down. He has almost mastered "sit" and we're working on "down" right now. 

He is a little shy around new people/situations but warms up to them eventually. He's met a friend of mine for short periods (five minutes or so) and by the third time, he wanted to sit in her lap.

He loves playing tug with squeaky toys and he and Mr. N wrestle and chase each other around the house. 

Onyxx's Petfinder ad (Portland, OR): 

Onyxx is a super sweet 5lb long haired Chihuahua who came from a home where he was very much neglected. He was infested with fleas and was missing most of the hair around his eyes, on his back, his hind legs and tail (see pic). Once we treated him for fleas and started him on some good quality food, it didn't take long for his coat to grow back long and beautiful. Now, he's so handsome! Onyxx is very friendly and playful with other small dogs, as soon as he knows they are safe. He is nervous around small children. He loves to play with toys just like a puppy. What a sweetie!

  3. Gorgeous little boy. Many years ago I used to have a Chihuahua X Yorkie who looked a lot like Onyx. Well done for fostering. Letting them go can be so hard!
