CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 Spring is coming around the corner, and now would be the perfect time to adopt a pet from your local animal shelter. You could go on more outdoor adventures, and you could also help save a precious life from the euthanasia list! <\/p>\n

Allow us to introduce Onyx \u2014 he is the KRIS 6 Pet of the Week.<\/p>\n

Onyx (A364843) is a black and white male German Shepherd Dog. He is about 3 years old, weighs 42.2. lbs., is already neutered, and has a heartworm status below detectable limits. <\/p>\n

Onyx has been at the City of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services since Jan. 21, and the staff have had the opportunity to get to know him more. <\/p>\n

“Onyx has been friendly with staff and other dogs. He loves to play with toys and run in\u00a0the\u00a0play yard,” said Matilda Perez, Community Relations Specialist at City of Corpus Christi Animal Care Services. <\/p>\n

Onyx is a smart fellow and he\u00a0knows how to sit on command.<\/p>\n
