Onyx is a three-year-old Chihuahua mix in El Paso, TX, who needs $2,000 for urgent orthopedic surgery.

Onyx is the newest member of Law N Paws rescue to come in as a result of an animal cruelty case. Poor Onyx suffered from a paw fracture, and his owners at the time refused to provide him with medical treatment. Luckily Onyx was rescued and is now safe and getting the love and attention he needs to heal!

Onyx is a brave little dog. Despite what he has been through, he has shown strength and resilience. Even though he was let down by humans in the past he still shows trust, and seems to be very happy that he is now with people who love him. He is handling all his vet visits like a champ and is staying just as hopeful as we are that he will recover soon.

Onyx is so special because of what he overcame. He survived against the odds and despite the grievous injury to his leg, and still holds so much happiness. Onyx has the spirit to go on to be an incredible companion to some lucky person, and deserves a fighting chance to recover and finally experience a life of security and love with a forever family.

Onyx has an injury to his paw which requires special orthopedic treatment due to its severity. Onyx's orthopedic doctor has advised that he will need 2 bridging plates inserted as there is not enough bone to repair the injury. In addition to this, he had casts and X-rays. He now has an estimated 4 more weeks of healing. His medical expenses will be in excess of $3,600 when all is said and done.

Onyx is only one of the pups under the care of Law N Paws. We often work with the authorities to provide sanctuary for pets like Onyx. In order to continue this important work we rely on the generosity of people like you.
