Onyx is a 5-month-old Great Dane/Husky mix currently waiting for a second chance in a Colorado shelter. Weighing in at 55 pounds and already neutered, this growing boy is full of potential and ready to find a loving home where he can thrive.

Like many shelter pups, we don’t have a lot of background on Onyx, but here’s what we do know: He’s a fun-loving, affectionate, and energetic puppy who’s eager to learn and explore the world around him. He absolutely loves stuffed toys, enjoys playtime, and even considers himself a bit of a lap dog—despite his large size!

Onyx is still learning the ropes of life and will need all the typical puppy training, including house training, crate training, leash skills, and basic obedience. He hasn’t lived with other dogs before but previously lived with cats. According to his former owner, he either ignored them or tried to play. He’s also reported to be good with children, making him a great potential family companion.

While Onyx has a fearful side, with patience, structure, and love, he’s sure to grow into a confident and well-adjusted dog. He just needs the right person or family to help guide him.

Are you ready to open your heart and home to Onyx? He’s waiting for a foster or forever family to show him what love truly means. Apply today to adopt this sweet boy!
