cation, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant. NOTE- ONYX IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR DOG. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. e.jaffe12gmail Onyx is a 5 year old black lab mix. She was surrendered to the ACC in December of 2023. We began fostering her some days later and adopted her a couple months after that. She is sweet, empathetic, and protective. She loves to cuddle with her humans and will relentlessly lick your face if you so much as think of crying. Her original owners report that she was attacked by a larger dog resulting in reactivity to other dogs. She will lunge at dogs, cats, birds, and people she perceives as dangerous while on a walk: that said, she has made huge strides in her recall and leash walking with consistent training, which needs to be continued. Onyx likes to take long walks (she gets very excited when she sees her harness) and play fetch in the backyard! She's not very interested in most toys, though she loves her bone and will happily tear into a plushy. She'd rather sit on your lap and be pet :) She's very well house-trained and knows basic commands. She won't make a mess if left alone while you are in the office (she will not under any circumstance go potty inside, so make sure she's not alone inside for too long though). She likes meeting new people, but can be over-excited easily. Onyx needs to be the only pet in a low-traffic, adults-only household. We have worked hard to get her comfortable with living with the other dog in our household, but have not been successful, with her resource guarding getting worse in recent months. We can no longer keep them living together safely. An owner experienced in working with reactive animals would be preferred. If you are interested in adopting ONYX, please fill out an application at .reachoutrescue and email her caretaker at : e.jaffe12gmail ONYX is located in Austin Texas.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
