Knox is a striking German Shepherd mix, rescued as a stray and now thriving in his foster home in Houston, TX. This big-eared, bright-eyed pup is quick on the uptake—he already knows his name and comes when called, and he’s picking up off-leash manners fast. Knox is crate trained and working on his potty training, so he still needs a little house supervision as he sharpens those skills. His playful side shines with other dogs: he reads the room and respects their boundaries, playing when invited and happily backing off if another pup isn’t interested. Cats pique Knox’s curiosity, but he approaches them with gentle, friendly interest and no aggression. He hasn’t met children yet, but his personality suggests he could do well with slow, positive introductions. After playtime, he’s quick to settle for a snooze next to his person, showing off his affectionate and loyal side. If you want a smart, eager companion who’s both adventurous and cuddly, Knox has everything you need. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
