Onyx is the name and escaping is his game. He's a big, perpetual-motion machine. If it moves, he'll chase it. He's been known to nip at farm critters so they shouldn't be part of his family. Someone might need to channel his boundless energy into obedience training interspersed with periods of play. Stimulate him with variety so he won't get bored and exhibit destructive habits like chewing. Sure, Onyx has challenges that need to be modified, he loves everyone and wants to sit all of his 67 pounds on your lap. He's used to being alone most of the day but will welcome you with a wagging tail when you return. Make an appointment to meet him at www.spcaflorida.org/appointment.
