About Paris
Meet Paris. This four year old Beagle is turning into a happy and outgoing little girl who is quickly adjusting to her environment.
She has a moderate activity drive and is curious about her new surroundings which she displays in typical breed fashion by snuffling around with glee. At the conclusion of the day, following her adventures, she has a lovely off-switch and enjoys soliciting pats, cuddles and snuggling with her special people on the couch.
This delightful cutie enjoys chewing on toys she can destroy! Her desire to understand the new world around her seems to have taken on a scientific bent, as she dissects every item and savours its texture. Fortunately she does not usually consume pieces, but she will need to be supervised as a precaution. She also abstains from chewing furniture, so that’s a definite plus.
If you have an active and inclusive lifestyle which prioritises their dogs as a central focus of family life then this girl is for you.
Paris has not been exposed to young children, cats or pocket pets and will not be rehomed with them.
Paris will not exist comfortably as a secondary afterthought. Her needs for human companionship and direction are high. However, any investments will see returns well above market value with this girl as there is nothing that can match the worth of unconditional love and loyalty that she is destined to bestow upon her most important people.
Her brown-eyes are simply soul piercing and she is master of expressing her emotions through them, both joy and sadness. If you have what it takes to shower this girl with the love and adoration she requires for the rest of her life and you meet the above stipulations, please see the application instructions below.
Medical notes
Paris is a very healthy girl.
Adoption details
*WARNING: If you do not follow the application instructions below, your application will be disregarded.*
Please tell us about yourself using the green ‘enquire about this pet’ button below. 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 application 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.
Please tell us what your dog’s sleeping arrangements will be as well as what you plan to do with your dog if you go away on holidays.
Please provide AS MUCH detail as possible to increase your chances of a successful application.
It may take up to four 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 the 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 our 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.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
