Knox the golden family man

My story

This boy is the epitome of a golden good boy and a family man through and through. He is bringing big heart. big love and big goofball fun and lucky for you he is ready for adoption! Good vibes included! Take a look at this guy then come back to read more - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK2ZSVt-ZY4 Knox is currently fostered in a busy home with three kids ages 9,6, 5 who he is awesome with! They shared that he is a great playmate and loves snuggles! He is a big boy weighing 70 lbs and occasionally he can get excited so a home with similar age children would be best only because he could easily knock over a little one on accident. He listens well though and is highly trainable so if you have a toddler and are interested, don’t be discourage, just keep it in mind as he will need some extra guidance there. In return though, you will have the dreamy kind of dog who is going to join in on family games, backyard hangs, and chill movie nights on the couch. Knox is estimated to be around 2 years old and is possibly a golden retriever mix, maybe a golden doodle, but given he is a rescue we cannot guarantee his breed or age. Thanks to the fact that Knox is currently fostered in a loving family home we have insider info on how he is as a house dog and he is getting A’s in all categories. He is house and crate trained, has great house manners- so much so he has free roaming privileges in the home, and has become quiet the hit on the block with neighbors- people and dogs included! Knox isn't currently living with other dogs, but he's proven he loves a good canine buddy! When we spent the day with him we wanted to see what his play style and “type” of dog he gravitates to and it didn’t take long at all for us to see it. His love connection was with a young, playful female dog with a play style we could call rough and rowdy. The connection was quick and once they got to playing it was so fun to watch! The key to him being in a home with a bouncy playmate is that he isn’t the non-stop type, having dog-buddy who knows how to take breaks and relax is important. He’s respectful of other dogs’ boundaries and only engages when the invite to play is clear, a great quality if you are looking for a doggie-day-care pup. No pushy vibes here — just good dog manners! Knox is a sweet, social guy who enjoys being around people. He warms up quickly to new folks and would thrive in a home where he’s part of the action. His foster shared that he loves the water so it it easy to picture him as the honorary pool party/ BBQ co-host — friendly, playful, and happy to take what’s left on your plate-only if you are really not going to finish that hot dog. Knox would love a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs, play fetch, sunbathe, and just enjoy his space. He’s not a high-maintenance pup, but a yard would help him live his best life. As for a life with cats, we are saying "no thank you" to feline friends. Knox showed an eager excitement when he met our house cat and we can see he would likely stress out a cat with his curiosity and eagerness to play chase. Dog buddies only, please! Whether it's a stroll around the block or an adventure at the park, Knox is a great leash-walker. He’s happy to explore, sniff all the good smells, and walk at your pace. This is also a great way to burn off some playful energy while you get your steps in. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, people-friendly guy who’s great with kids, respectful with other dogs, and full of personality — Knox is your guy. Bring him home, fire up the grill, and get ready to add a little extra joy to your life. Questions?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!
