Onyx is a happy go lucky boy who likes to bounce around and play with everyone.  He can sometimes be timid when exposed to new things, so puppy socialization and positive motivational obedience exposure is recommended. He is gentle and relaxes well when being handled so would do well in a home with children, ages six and up.  He will likely get to be around 50#s. He has a medium coat with longer hairs so prospective adopters should be prepared to do some grooming, but not a lot. He is active, and since he is a Norwegian Lundehund and Australian Shepherd mix, a good amount of exercise should be planned for. Onyx surely will find something to entertain himself if left on his own. He does like to find things to chew on, but he likes to be in the crate and some indestructible toys filled with Peanut Butter should take care of that.  He likes to be clean and should be easy to housebreak.  A physically fenced in yard and lots of play and activity would be the best match for this guy.  Another pup to play with would also be great. 

HDDCR requires a spay/neuter contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. We will hold a $50 deposit on top of the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog was spayed/neutered. The $50 deposit will then be returned to the adopter.​
