About onyx benedict: Hello, my name is Onyx Benedict . My animal id is #180507. I am a male gray dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 8 months 2 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a agency on 8/22/2023.
Onyx Benedict is in need of emergency placement due to behavioral concerns. Onyx has not acclimated well to the shelter environment and is allowing for minimal handling. He is fearful and somewhat avoidant during interactions and displays a high level of anxiety - barking rapidly, bouncing off kennel walls, screeching- despite best efforts to keep him comfortable, and has escalated to biting a handler when attempting to remove him from his kennel for a walk. The bite did not break the skin. Medically, Onyx Benedict has been diagnosed with CIRDC which is usually treated with antibiotics.
