Onion

Onion / M / 9Y / 5lbs / Chihuahua / Fostered in Owen Sound 

When Onion came into our care, he was very scared and would try to bite when we touched him. But he has come so far since arriving into our rescue and is so brave now. He is extremely affectionate and always wants to be with you. As soon as you sit down, he wants to be up in your lap. He also loves a cozy bed and blanket to snuggle up in. He enjoys meal time and will eat all of the wet food while picking out the kibble and leaving most of it behind. He has the cutest bark and sounds exactly like a seal! The funniest thing about him is that his lip gets stuck on his tooth frequently and he always looks like he is smiling!

Onion is continuing to work on his house training and is doing well but still has accidents inside (he does not like this cold weather). He is crate trained and sleeps through tonight. He hasn't had much experience walking on leash yet. He does have some separation anxiety and will cry when left alone. He does eventually settle after about 15 minutes. He is low/medium energy. 

Onion is scared when meeting new people and needs slow introductions. Once he knows you though, he will love you with his whole heart. He is good with other dogs but does not like to share his bed or his person's lap so would do better with another dog who was more independent. He is good with cats. Since he is still quite afraid and does not like to be startled, he would do best with children 14+. Onion is looking for a family who will be very patient with him as he settles in and will help him continue to be brave. He would love someone who is home often with him and someone who wants to cuddle lots. We would prefer a family who has experience with nervous /shy dogs. He is having his dental on February 19th and then he will be ready to go home after he's healed.
