Ideal Home / Adopter:This sweet and playful dog is looking for an adoptive home where he can thrive with lots of love and attention. He absolutely adores playing with other dogs, and his affectionate nature means he will shower his people with kisses whenever they’re around. Whether it's running outside, going for walks, or curling up on a comfy couch or bed, he loves being close to his people and furry companions. He's also a huge fan of toys and has a lot of energy to burn.

While he’s eager to please, he’ll need a patient owner who is willing to work with him on crate and potty training to help him settle in and feel secure in his new home. Ideal home would be someone who works from home as he can get anxious being alone or in a crate for too long, someone who is very patient as he decompresses and fully learns potty training and counter surfing, has a furry companion to play with (but not a must), regular exercise as he is active, and can provide a comfy couch and bed for him.

Likes: He loves everything! Toys, dogs, walks, sleeping on the couch, looking out the window, kisses, regular affection, and any and all treats!

Dislikes: Being alone/long time in the crate.

Knox is the sweetest boy! He’s never met a stranger and greets everyone with instant kisses. He does have a beagle bark and isn’t shy about using it—whether in his crate or when spotting a squirrel. Knox is clicker trained and has already learned to sit and lay down. He’s also working on “all fours” to help with getting down. He’s 98% potty trained and doing great!

Soft toys are his absolute favorite—he almost always needs something to carry in his mouth, especially when greeting his people.

At just 35 lbs, Knox is a forever puppy! He’s incredibly sweet, loves both people and dogs, and is happiest when playing—whether with a furry friend or his favorite toys (ideally both!). He’s a quick learner and loves to cuddle with his people or canine companions. Knox also sleeps soundly through the night and will happily snuggle in bed without disrupting. He does not and prefers not to be crated at night.

Knox's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
