Onyx is 7 years old and has spent over a year in a kennel at Long Beach Animal Care Services. He’s what the shelter staff and volunteers call a longtime legend, and no one can figure out why he hasn’t been adopted yet. Onyx was (and is) a shelter favorite. He’s young at heart, playful and affectionate. He’s also a survivor. During his shelter stay, his leg swelled up and he couldn’t use it. He was diagnosed with cancer in that leg, and his survival depended on amputation, which Friends of Long Beach Animals helped pay for. The operation did not slow Onyx down one bit! He’s enjoying himself in a foster home right now, and the family adores him. Onyx has become quite used to being a house dog, and he’d like to make the situation permanent.
