Meet Onyx
Meet Onyx!
This big, silly boy was surrendered to a local pound due to financial issues in his previous home and has now found his way to DRH for a second chance!
Onyx is a big boy with a big heart! He loves both human and doggy friends alike but struggles with some manners. He would benefit from some positive reward-based training to help refine some manners and skills.
Onyx could go home with a doggy pal and kids 13+ pending successful meets at the refuge.
Onyx struggles a lot in kennel barking and howling all day but outside of his kennel he is a big snugglebug who just wants some love <3
Onyx could go home with a doggy pal and kids 13+!
Come meet this gorgeous goofball at the refuge today!
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
