Knox

My story

Knox / 3 Years Old / Male / Mixed Breed / ~30 lbs (13.5 kg) / Fostered in Markham Pet Status: Best as the only pet (no dogs, cats, or small animals) Family Match: Great with respectful, dog-savvy older children House Skills: House-trained, and settles happily after daily exercise Meet Knox Knox is a fun-loving, upbeat boy who greets every day with a wagging tail, a favourite toy, and endless affection.Knox is all about his people. Whether he’s trotting alongside you on a daily hike, showing off his goofy, charming smile (courtesy of a few missing lower teeth and adorable bouncy ears), or happily riding shotgun with the window cracked, his joyful energy is completely contagious. Yes—he absolutely loves car rides and makes the best co-pilot for road trips or everyday errands! Once he burns off his daily energy, he instantly transforms into a world-class couch cuddle buddy. Training & Ideal Environment Brain & Body Workout: Knox thrives in an active home. He is food-motivated, quick to learn, and loves puzzle toys, scenic drives, structured walks, and training sessions. Ongoing Learning: He has made great progress with his focus and alone-time confidence. Like many spirited young dogs, he continues to work on channelled excitement—using positive reinforcement to curb bouncy jumping and gentle mouthing when overstimulated. Leash & Pet Dynamics: Knox walks politely past other dogs on leash with proper distance, but he truly prefers being the sole focus of your affection. Due to his natural prey drive, he requires a home without cats or small animals Knox is ready for an engaging, loving family ready to continue his positive training routine, hop in the car, and share his joyful daily adventures.
