About Charly
I am honoured to hereby present to you the effervescent Charly. Charly May look like your typical stunning, ruby Cavalier but there’s nothing typical about Charly.
This little stunner, supposedly has some Maltese in his ancestry, but you would not know to look at him. Unlike what is typical in either breed, however, he is very active, outgoing and full of life.
Charly loves to chase the ball and will retrieve his treasured quarry and return it to you for throwing for as long as you’re willing to play. This dog is magnificent with people of all ages and fantastic with other dogs.
He is very enthusiastic on walks and adores car trips, so would make a great adventure dog for those with an active lifestyle in which a their dog plays a central part.
When all the day’s adventures are over, Charly will place his gorgeous ruby head upon your lap and enjoy having is soft, silken ears rubbed until he falls asleep. Charly loves to snuggle on the couch and has so much love to give to the right family.
Charly has only just been desexed, and prior to this he had a problem with marking in the house, so became a primarily outside dog in his previous home. In the short time he has been here, Charly has learned some beautiful indoor manners very quickly and will benefit from someone who will reinforce his training.
This darling boy is very human focussed and adores his people, following them everywhere they go and coming when he is called for pats nearly every single time.
While Charly has been here he has become the only dog I trust to leave alone with his 10 eight week old puppy house mates as he is extremely tolerant and loves to gently play with them. The puppies get very excited to see their older brother and follow him around the yard.
Charly will need some work on his recall and he cannot be trusted off-lead, yet. However, he is an intelligent dog who is motivated by food and balls and would be a delight to train.
If you think you have the perfect home for this gorgeous, loving and sprightly boy, please see the application instructions below.
Medical notes
Charly is a very fit and healthy boy.

Adoption details
Please email me a little bit about yourself. I do not operate on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Instead, my aim is to find the most suitable forever home for the animals in my care.
Your email should include details about who lives at your home, both humans and animals and what their daily schedules and living arrangements are like. It should include details about your previous dogs and a thorough break down of the house rules you will have for this pet as well as what their typical day will look like.
It may take a couple of weeks to process the applications. Please try to be patient. All applicants will receive a response - but it won’t be an immediate one.
If your application seems promising you will be contacted for a telephone interview. Should this be successful you will be invited to a meet and greet and asked to send photos of your property.
Should the meet and greet end favourably, you may pay the adoption fee, sign some paperwork and take the pet on a two week trial during which time you will be asked to provide regular updates.
During this trial period the pet remains the property of Onyx Rescue and adoption will only be finalised following a successful trial.

AN OPEN LETTER TO APPLICANTS:
I hate to disappoint people. It’s something that really upsets me, but unfortunately it comes with the territory of what I do. So I want to use this post to explain something.
When I take on a dog, I make a commitment both to that dog and the former owners of that dog to find this fur-kid their perfect forever home. My primary criterion in order to achieve this is whether that home is a good match for that dog. Each dog can have vastly different needs from the next and every home is different.
Sometimes well-intentioned people put their friends in touch with me, sometimes I am approached by friends or even family in relation to a particular dog. However, I have made a promise not to compromise on my commitment and I have to turn them down.
This isn’t a reflection of their dog ownership skills, nor how I feel about them personally. My decision will always come down to whether I believe that they are a match. Not just any match - the best match.
Sometimes I am lucky to have several interested parties who would be a good match and it can be difficult to choose between them. My ultimate decision will, however, not be influenced by my relationship with this potential adopter, be it secondary or primary, nor the number of times they have applied and missed out previously, nor whether they applied first, nor the number of times or methods used to contact me about a particular pet, but whether or not they are the BEST match available.
So if you know someone who is interested in any of the dogs at Onyx Rescue, or you are interested in one yourself, please go through the proper channels and send your application through Petrescue. Please do not take offence if you or your friends are not chosen - this only means that there was someone who was a better match. Not a better person, not a better dog owner, but a better match.
I believe there is a home for every dog and a dog for every home, so if you’ve not been chosen previously please do not give up applying - the next one may be your perfect dog.
Thank-you to everyone who supports what we do here - it means the world to us and the beautiful fur-kids seeking homes.
