Onyx and his sister, Ebony, arrived at NCCR on 5/15/21, pulled from an overcrowded shelter to give them a better chance. Ebony was soon adopted, and now Onyx is hoping for a forever home of his own! He is a mixed breed pup, approximately 7-8 months old, weighing around 26 pounds. He is likely to get a little taller and heavier over the next several months. Onyx is a friendly, high-energy, very lively pup who will need plenty of daily activity, training, exercise, and play time in his new home. Be sure you have the time, energy, and patience for raising a puppy, and the ability to make a life-long (13 years +) commitment before applying!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Onyx is sponsored by: Chelsea Barber, Elaine Tschari, Paula E. Stern, Lisa and Jason Weaver and Matthew Fowler. He is also sponsored by Diane Mogavero, Don and Joanne Pochopin, John and Susan Harrell, Tom and Betsy White and Wanda Hardy. Thank you everyone!
