More about Onyx
Meet little Onyx, our beautiful mixed breed pup.
Onyx arrived at Battersea as a stray and, as a very small pup, was briefly rehomed before coming back to us.
He is a bouncy and affectionate lad who loves both humans and dogs alike. Onyx is looking for owners with some experience of large or guarding breeds, who are prepared to take on the responsibility of owning a puppy and have plenty of time to dedicate to his socialisation, confidence building and training. Although he is a small pup now, he is expected to grow into a very large, potentially giant-sized adult dog, so some research into these types of breeds would also be beneficial.
Onyx loves other dogs and is a bouncy and playful boy! He could potentially live with a tolerant and confident role-model type dog that can help introduce him to the world around him and teach him some valuable life skills. He has shown no chase behaviours onsite, but was previously rehomed with a cat and was inquisitive and confident around them, so he could also potentially live with a confident, dog-savvy cat with the right, slow introductions.
He is looking for a home in any location and, as he will grow into a large breed dog, he will require his own private garden for burn-offs and training. Onyx is also currently undergoing physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help build up his strength, so his exercise will need to be built up gradually.
Onyx is an exuberant but sweet pup who could live with children aged 8+ who can play a role in his daily training.
This lovely lad has a heart of gold and so much love to give. With the right guidance and support, he would make a wonderful addition to any household lucky enough to have him.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Onyx, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual dog, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here: https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogs
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
