Onyx - 6 Week Old Jack Russell(On Hold 24/11/22)

Onyx is your typical puppy; cute, cuddly, loving, very playful, goofy, curious, inquisitive and funny. He will make you smile, laugh and your heart beam with love for him.

Born in our foster care Onyx is one of four. They are all healthy, happy and a delight to watch all day long no matter what they are doing. They are all sweet natured, still have puppy breath and their individual personalities are shining through nicely.

He is becoming more confident and enjoys running around outside exploring, playing, and wrestling with his siblings. He also loves being around his foster family and having plenty cuddle time as he is super affectionate. He will fill your heart and home with love in the blink of an eye.

Exercise- with having two intelligent and busy breeds mixed into one Onyx is going to need a lot of mental and physical stimulation, lots of walking. He is small and cute now but please keep in mind he will grow bigger and will require a decent amount of time, attention, and training. He will need a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run.

Sleep - He sleeps with his siblings in a pen in the loungeroom all snuggled up together.

Food - He is not fussy about food and will eat all puppy food, bbq chook, all meats cut up finely, treats and a bone or two to gnarl on for is sharp pearly whites.

Toilet – He is still working on it; he uses the opened doggy door regularly so he can come and go as he needs too. If you do not have a doggy door, I strongly advise to put one in to save unwanted accidents.

Onyx is microchipped and has had his first vaccination. He is not yet desexed and will need to be in 5 months’ time with proof of sterilization for this reason he not available for interstate adoption sorry.
