About Knope

Knope is a delightful 5-year-old Pug weighing around 16 pounds. She resembles a tiny lamb who ended up in the wrong place; her past involved being sold on Facebook Marketplace while suffering from severe dermatitis and untreated skin infections. Thankfully, that desperate chapter is behind her. While she had extensive hair loss and cracked skin, the treatment has worked wonders. Although her underside is now bare, her top coat is luxuriously soft and fluffy, fully healed, and she’s ready to embrace life as a beloved pet. This gentle girl shines in her warm personality, always happy to snuggle up next to someone special. Knope is great with dogs of all ages and gets along beautifully with people, making her the perfect companion. She’s patient, affectionate, and really enjoys spending time with her loved ones. While she requires some ongoing care to keep her skin in good shape, her resilient spirit remains unbroken. She doesn't concern herself with her bare belly, and neither should her future family. Knope is looking for a home filled with love, a cozy couch, and plenty of cuddles. Interested in welcoming this sweet girl into your life? Don’t hesitate to inquire today!
