Meet Onyx — A Companion Worth Knowing
Onyx is a 90-pound sweetheart with a wonderfully big presence and an even bigger desire to be close to his people. This handsome Golden Retriever/Husky mix is the kind of dog who greets his family at the door, smiles often, and would happily trade almost anything for a long rub, a hug, and time by your side.
A Story That Captures Onyx
At 7 years and 9 months old, Onyx is ready for a loving Charlotte-area home where he can be cherished as the only pet. He is a playful, moderate-energy companion who loves people deeply, enjoys children, and has a special talent for making everyday moments feel more affectionate.
His owner describes him as a big baby who wants to be spoiled and rubbed all day. Onyx does not simply enjoy company; being near his person is one of the things that matters most to him. He will be missed especially for how much he always wants to be around his family, no matter what they are doing.
Onyx is reliably housetrained, comfortable in a crate, and used to sleeping loose in the home. His crate, leash, and collar can come along with him to help make his transition easier.

Onyx’s Loving Golden Retriever/Husky Personality
Onyx is sweet, playful, people-loving, and wonderfully expressive. He loves hugs, smiles a lot, and is especially fond of kids. For the person who dreams of a substantial, affectionate dog who wants to be part of the action, Onyx has a great deal of love to give.
He listens well to commands and does not wander off, though his size and strength mean he can drag people while walking. A capable adopter who can comfortably handle a strong 90-pound dog will be important for this boy.
A Charlotte Dog Who Loves Hugs, Dancing, and Tomatoes
Onyx has an unforgettable way of sharing his affection: he likes to jump up for hugs and even jump up and dance with people. He is not particularly interested in toys, but he is very interested in connection.
His other memorable preference is tomatoes, which he loves. He also eagerly greets his people at the door and has a particular food routine: he only eats table food when it is placed on the floor for him. Onyx may be a big dog, but his heart is firmly set on the simple joys of family attention, cuddles, and familiar rituals.

Important Things to Know Before Adopting Onyx
Onyx is a strong dog who can pull or drag people on walks, despite listening well to commands. His adopter should be prepared to safely handle his size and strength.
He needs an only-pet home because he struggles around other dogs, and he needs people who are home often because of his separation anxiety. Loud noises such as fireworks and screeches frighten him, and he will look to his people for comfort.
The Reward of Bringing Onyx Home
For the right home, Onyx offers the kind of companionship that fills a room: a happy greeting at the door, a smiling face, an invitation to dance, and a big dog’s wholehearted wish to be near his people. He is looking for more than a place to live; he is looking for a family that will welcome his affectionate nature and make him part of everyday life.
If you have room in your home and heart for a devoted, playful, people-loving dog, Onyx may be the special companion you have been waiting to meet.
