Onyx is a gentle, sweet boy who starts off a little shy but clearly wants to connect. He shows lower assertiveness with medium confidence, paired with high motivation, resiliency, and very strong human focus. In new environments he can be a bit apprehensive at first, but once he feels safe, his tail starts wagging and you can see his confidence grow. He really wants to please and does best when he’s given a little time and patience.

He has a medium energy level and a softer, more sensitive nature. Onyx is more aware of sounds and sights around him, which can make him pause to take things in, but he doesn’t shut down. His extremely tenderhearted score means he feels things deeply and can get emotionally overwhelmed at times, especially in new situations. That said, he responds beautifully to reassurance and calm guidance and continues to make progress as trust builds.
