About Knight

Knight is a 4-year-old, 50-pound Aussie mix with a knack for making you feel in charge while actually outsmarting you. He’s playful and sweet, delighting in gentle interactions with an older child or a kind dog friend. After losing a leg due to an injury, he’s adapted well and is simply looking for a loving home where he can thrive. Daily exercise is important for Knight, whether it’s walks or exploring a fenced yard. He enjoys mental stimulation too, from learning new tricks to playing with humans. He’s not into navigating stairs repeatedly, so a flat home will suit him best. Knight tends to do well with dog-savvy cats and knows how to keep things fun without overwhelming anyone. He dreams of a fenced yard, gentle companionship, and interesting daily activities. In turn, he’ll offer his cleverness and affection, proving that having three legs doesn’t slow him down.
