Hi, I am Onyx. I came into KAR about 3 months ago, when my owners could no longer keep me because I was pregnant. At first, I was fairly timid and nervous being in a new home, but I quickly adjusted and learned that it was a comfortable safe place for me to have my babies.

I went to the vet after being in my new foster home for a few days and we were told that I was expected to have about 6 babies. Two weeks later I began delivering and I had 12 babies...but unfortunately that was too many and only 8 survived. I was very content and busy caring for these 8 beautiful healthy babies though, so I did my motherly duties quite well.

When the babies were 3 weeks old, the rescue got a call about another 3 week old Chiweenie pup that was being relinquished to the rescue. My foster mom decided to try and see if this cute little one could become a part of my litter because she still needed a momma. So I decided to accept her and let her nurse with my babies and took her in as one of my own. (8 or 9 - Seriously what's the difference?)

My foster mom says I have been a great momma and I am very trusting of her and very comfortable here, but I still need to find my forever home. All of my babies have found their people who will love and care for them and I am hoping for my turn now. I am a very good girl. I am housebroken, and I will bark to warn you when I hear or see something I feel you should know. I like to go for walks on leash and I am very good with other dogs, cats and people. I was allowed on furniture in my old home, so my new people will need to be ok with me sometimes getting into bed with them or climbing into their lap on occasion. I do still like to cuddle.  

I know I will be a great addition to your family, so please fill out an application and consider giving me my forever home.

 



Jill B was her foster parent.
