onyx

Onyx is a unicorn stuck in a Corgi body - he's essentially an angel that sheds.  This infectiously happy boy is determined to have the best time living life to the fullest.  Adventure is his total goal every day and playing fetch is his best sport. Onyx will play fetch with a tennis ball until he passes out.  The aftermath is that he falls asleep at your feet and snoozes for a long time in the deepest contentment.  For this favorite sport and pasttime, we will say that a fenced yard is required for him and your peace of mind.  This 3 year old, 24 pound pure bred Corgi is wonderful on walks with the foster mom and her own forever dog and she reports that he prances like he is in a Christmas Parade.   Squeaky toys are a BIG definite for him and he has never met one that he did not crunch down on to see just how it sounds and feels in his mouth.  Onyx is great in a crate and we are looking for a home that he is not crated for work days away of 9 hours from his owner.  He could do it but he would not be very happy.  He is a velcro dog and just yearns for the humans in his life to let him be their shadow going everywhere together.  Speaking of going....he is a great car rider and co-pilot.  At night he would love to sleep in the bed with you or right beside you on his bed on the floor.  Again... he will promise to be your sidekick in life. He is an expert cuddler and love.  He is not a big barker either but will alert when it is required for him to let you know someone is approaching.  He doesn’t bark unless it’s fully necessary (his radar-like ears serve as an alarm system for squirrels, amazon deliveries, garage doors opening, seeing one of us pick up the leash to go for walks). But 98% of the time, he doesn’t make any noise at all.  We can label him a snack thief and a lover of Greenies and the token belly rub that all confident dogs allow from their people.  He has a strong love language that he has perfected.  He is wonderful with all other dogs.  We do not know about cats currently.  The major thing about Onyx is that he is an active boy and he needs a family that will mirror his zest for life and share his active lifestyle.  Get a tennis ball launcher and provide him with another playful dog to talk to and walk with and play and his life will be perfection and so will yours!!!  Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.   We transport from Nashville, Tn where we are based and stop at various designated transport locations on our weekend trips northward.
