Knox isn’t just another cute puppy—he’s the one with a little spark behind his eyes, the one who’s always thinking, always watching, always figuring things out before you even realize he’s trying. If you’re looking for a dog who just exists in the background, Knox is not your guy. If you’re looking for a dog who engages, who learns you just as quickly as you learn him, who makes every day feel a little more alive—now we’re talking. At just 3½ months old, Knox is already operating on a whole different level. He’s genuinely one of the smartest puppies you’ll ever meet. He’s currently in a loving foster home where he’s absolutely thriving, and it shows in everything he does. Knox isn’t just “doing well” with training—he’s excelling. He already knows commands like sit, lay down, shake, spin, and continues to pick up new ones like it’s second nature. You can see how much he enjoys learning—it’s not just something he tolerates, it’s something he looks forward to. Give him something to figure out, and he lights up. Watch how cute he is in his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/fMee3NwdwwU?si=RPj72862W6sFQlLR He’s the kind of dog who needs that engagement. Knox does best when he has structure, consistency, and things to do—whether that’s training sessions, puzzle toys, interactive play, or just being included in your daily routine. He thrives when his mind is active and his energy has an outlet. In the right environment, he absolutely flourishes into this incredible, well-rounded, impressive dog. Without it, he’ll find his own ways to stay busy—and like any smart, young puppy, those ideas might not always align with yours. Personality-wise, Knox is just as wonderful as he is intelligent. He’s playful, goofy, and full of life, with that classic puppy bounce that makes everything feel a little more fun. He loves to play, loves to explore, and loves being part of whatever is going on. But he’s not all energy—he has a really sweet, affectionate side too. After he’s had his fun, he’ll happily settle in close, soak up attention, and just be your little shadow. Knox would do best in an active home that’s excited to continue working with him and giving him the kind of life he thrives in. A home with a yard would be ideal so he has space to move, play, and burn off that happy puppy energy. More than anything, he’s looking for his person—someone who wants a true companion, someone who will invest in him, challenge him, and include him. He bonds deeply and does best when he has that consistent connection. This isn’t just a “good puppy.” Knox is the kind of dog who, with the right person, becomes something really special. The kind you’re proud of, the kind people notice, the kind you can’t imagine your life without once he’s in it. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69d3f69314b18eef750d9ce2 Questions?
