I am Onyx, and I look like one rough and tumble guy, but I’ve just had a tough life. All I want now is to find me a big old lap and a bunch of heavy petting. I need a hero in my corner. Are you that special one?

Onyx is our big, beautiful pet of the day. Please pay him a visit today at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter. They are open from 11-6, and all of the animals would love to see you.

The Oak Ridge Animal Shelter is at 395 Belgrade Road in east Oak Ridge. The phone number is (865) 425-3423.

See the Animal Shelter’s website here. You can also find more information on adoptable animals at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter on this Facebook page.
