Twenty-six years ago, September 11 meant back-to-school spirits; hazy, end-of-summer weather; the beginning of a season with rowdy fans, dressed in green, piling into Veterans Stadium to cheer on their favorite football team. When American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. in 2001, though, everything changed. The crashes that subsequently hit the South Tower at 9:03, the Pentagon at 9:37, and an empty field in Shanksville, PA, alerted the country that this was an attack, unlike anything we had seen on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor.

Burlington County Animal Alliance's Adoptable Pet of the Week: Meet Onyx 🖤🐾

At about 1 year old and 45 pounds, Onyx is a gorgeous, sweet boy searching for the patient and loving forever home he deserves.

Onyx can be nervous around strangers, loud noises and unfamiliar situations, but give him time to feel safe and his affectionate personality shines. He loves curling up on the couch, sleeping beside his person and soaking up all the love from someone he trusts. ❤️

He also loves cats, is about 90% potty trained and would thrive in a quiet, child-free home with a fenced yard. Another friendly dog could also help show him that the world isn’t such a scary place.
Onyx has already been let down twice. This time, he needs someone who will stay.

Could you be his forever person? 🏡
