Onyx &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

Onyx – Sometimes happiness can be so simple … Why reach for the stars when love, warmth, and friendship can sit right next door in the living room? – on four paws and with a cold nose, named Onyx! He could be called a heartthrob, and his loving eyes speak for themselves. Onyx is a well-behaved, calm, and very balanced dog who can be taken anywhere without a second thought. He shows no aggression, is friendly with everyone, whether two- or four-legged, and is extremely people-oriented. The clingy treasure enjoys going for walks, where he walks perfectly on a leash, car rides are no problem, and of course, he can also stay alone at home for a reasonable amount of time. Snuggling sessions are a must, which he loves more than anything. After tragically losing his home, we are now searching for a forever home with active people who will appreciate the wonderful being of this lovable male dog. A house with a garden would be ideal. He is familiar with family life, even with other pets.

Onyx – Glück kann manchmal so einfach sein … Warum denn nach den Sternen greifen, wenn Liebe, Wärme, Freundschaft nebenan im Wohnzimmer sitzen kann? – auf vier Pfoten und mit kalter Schnauze, namens Onyx! Herzensschmeichler könnte man ihn nennen und der treue Blick aus seinen liebevollen Augen spricht für sich. Onyx ist ein braver, ruhiger und sehr ausgeglichener Hund, den man bedenkenlos überall mit hinnehmen kann. Er zeigt keinerlei Aggression, ist mit jedermann, egal ob Zwei- oder Vierbeinig, gut Freund und äußerst menschenbezogen. Der anhängliche Goldschatz geht gerne spazieren, wobei er tadellos an der Leine läuft, Autofahrten sind kein Problem und selbstverständlich kann er auch mal eine angemessene Zeit alleine zuhause bleiben. Schmuserunden gehören natürlich auch dazu, die liebt er über alles. Nachdem Onyx auf tragische Weise sein Zuhause verlor, suchen wir nun ein für immer Domizil bei etwas aktiven Menschen, die das tolle Wesen dieses liebenswerten Rüden, schätzen. Ein Haus mit Garten wäre optimal. Das Familienleben, auch mit anderen Haustieren, kennt er.

About Onyx &#8211

What life with Onyx &#8211 looks like

Onyx &#8211 is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Onyx &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Onyx &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Onyx &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Onyx &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Onyx &#8211 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Onyx &#8211 isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Onyx &#8211 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
