Knuckles the Echidna is Sonic the Hedgehog’s former rival, current best friend, and trusted guardian of the Master Emerald. Our Knuckles hopes to become YOUR best friend and trusted guardian of your heart.
Knuckles had the opportunity to walk with a new volunteer during a public walking event and they REALLY enjoyed their time with him. His walking buddy shared, “Knuckles was very calm and moseyed along on our walk. He wasn’t very interested in treats; he just wanted his sniffs and exercise. I took my time and enjoyed my walk with him. Knuckles was ready to get going on his walk and was such a good walk partner, not pulling and wanting to stay close throughout. You will enjoy a nice slow stroll with Knuckles!”
Additionally, volunteers say that Knuckles is a very sweet boy who is calm in his kennel, easy to leash, a very easy walker, and that he takes treats very softly.
Staff members also say that Knuckles is very sweet, affectionate and enjoys pets. Knuckles is waiting for a medical foster or adopter in order to have surgery on his injured leg. Did you know that if you foster a dog with medical needs, PACC covers all associated costs and then you get first dibs at adoption?
Knuckles would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you’re looking for a relaxed, calm, and very sweet young pup, come meet Knuckles today!
