About Truth
*ON TRIAL* Truth is a gorgeous dog in appearance and has a personality to match. She is a 5 year old Labrador x Husky with an indelible spirit of happiness and a bubbly, social personality with both people and other dogs.
This adorable teddy bear exhibits wonderful doggy social skills and great tolerance towards those canines with less refined manners. If a dog growls at her, she simply walks away. She has no interest in engaging in spats and just wants to play with those who respond in kind.
Truth also loves people and approaches them for pats regularly. She is a good girl who will sit when asked but does need further work to stop her from pulling on the lead.
Truth has some striking markings due to her husky heritage but has the build and temperament of a Labrador. She could do to lose a couple of kilos as she has also inherited their appetite! Her coat appears to blow undercoat, so this will need to be brushed out a couple of times a year to reduce shedding.
At the age of five, Truth is still an active dog who loves to run free at the park where she comes when called most of the time and shows no interest in running away.
She is a smart girl who would benefit from plenty of daily mental and physical stimulation and she is toilet trained so will gladly spend nights with you cuddling on the couch.
Everyone who meets Truth just adores her due to her beautiful looks and personality and we will prioritise those who can commit themselves to her just as loyally as she commits herself to her special people. Having had a couple of homes already due to no fault of her own, it’s high time this amazing creature gets the forever home that she deserves.
Do you enjoy making your furry family a central focus of your life? If so, Truth is waiting for your application so that she can make you the central focus of hers. With her exquisite looks and her charming demeanour, anyone would be lucky to have this precious girl. If you’re feeling lucky, please see the application instructions below.
Medical notes
Truth is very healthy and active girl. She has some tartar on her teeth which may be remedied with dental chews or bones.

Adoption details
Please email us a little bit about yourself. We do not operate on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Instead, our aim is to find the most suitable forever home for the animals in our 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 may not 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:
We hate to disappoint people. It’s something that really upsets us, but unfortunately it comes with the territory of what we do. So we want to take the time to explain something.
When we take on a dog, we make a commitment both to that dog and the former owners of that dog to find this fur-kid their perfect forever home. Our 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 us, sometimes we are approached by friends or even family in relation to a particular dog. However, we have made a promise not to compromise on my commitment and we have to turn them down.
This isn’t a reflection of their dog ownership skills, nor how we feel about them personally. Our decision will always come down to whether we believe that they are a match. Not just any match - the best match.
Sometimes we are lucky to have several interested parties who would be a good match and it can be difficult to choose between them. Our ultimate decision will, however, not be influenced by our 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 us 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.
We 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.
