About Knox

Meet Knox, the delightful young pup full of life and energy! Knox is a charming blend of Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd, currently 8 months old. He's best suited for an active forever home where he can thrive and play. Knox is friendly with other dogs, kids, and even cats, although he may chase them if they dash away. He’s nearly house trained but may have the occasional accident without a consistent schedule. Knox loves his crate and is used to spending a few hours alone, although he prefers to be close to his humans, often cuddling in bed at night. This energetic boy was surrendered because he needed more space than an apartment could provide, so a larger living environment would suit him best. His adoption fee of $300 covers his neutering, vaccinations, deworming, microchip with registration, and current preventative care. If you’re ready for an adventurous companion, Knox might be your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
