Dog's Name: KnoxGender: MaleCurrent Age: 7 months to 1 yearCurrent Age Range: Young Adult (6 months to 1 year)Current Weight: 35 lbsExpected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs)Breed: Lab MixEnergy Level: Medium-High Dog Friendly: Yes, and can have other dogs in the home or can be an only dog. Cat Friendly: Unknown Kids: Yes, any age Apartment Friendly: No Fence Requirements: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home / Adopter: This sweet and playful pup is ready to find a loving home where he can thrive with plenty of attention and affection. Knox is a simple guy who finds joy in the little things—whether it’s playing with toys, napping in a comfy spot, going for walks, or just watching the world go by from a window. He loves interacting with other dogs and equally enjoys long naps on the couch. Above all, Knox adores his humans and will quickly form a strong bond with his new family, showering them with love and cuddles. Despite his playful nature, Knox is easy to manage, especially given his size. He’s happy to be held or cuddled and just wants to be close to his people. If you’re looking for a pup who will stay small in size but big in love, Knox might be your perfect match! Knox is eager to please, but he will need a patient owner who can help him with crate training to feel secure in his new home. The ideal adopter would be someone who is understanding as he settles in, learns to adjust to crate training, and works with him on overcoming his habit of counter surfing. Knox has been clicker trained and already knows how to sit and lay down and is working on leave it and stay. He will perfectly sit before he receives food or treats. It would be wonderful if his new home had a furry friend to play with, though it's not a must. He also requires regular exercise to burn off his energy and a cozy spot on the couch or a comfy bed to call his own. If you’re ready to welcome this loving and playful boy into your home, Knox is ready to give you all the love in return! 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.

Hi my name is Sadie, but my foster mom has been calling me Chiklet because compared to all her big dogs I am so tiny. The rescue thinks I may be a pit / lab mix. I am approximately 10 weeks old.I am crate trained, almost potty trained, sometimes I have an accident if you don't move fast enough to let me out, but I am doing really good at alerting my foster mom when I need to go. I sleep in the crate all night like a good little baby, and only cry if I need to go out to potty. However it will cost you a treat for me to go in the crate. If you can afford a treat I will do anything you want!I love to be held and loved. My favorite thing to just sit with you, and get lots of pets, give lots of kisses and know that I am loved. I also like playing with the other dogs in the foster home. I like it so much I think I would like a home with at least one other dog that has some energy and will play with me, and I am most content when I get some much needed puppy play time in.I love soft pillows to sleep on, and I love chewy toys. Right now there are lots of Nylabones laying around everywhere, and I get to pick whatever one I want to chew on. It's awesome, so just know I will need some indestructible chew toys. I am not into the soft toys too much as they rip apart, and the I get sad.I also really love kiddos! My foster mom has a daycare, so I have able to meet and play with kids ages 2 and up, and I do wonderful. I approach with wagging tail, give lots of kisses, and collapse in their lap to be pet. If they push me away, it's no big deal, I can just move on to another kiddo, and start over with kisses!You can apply to meet me at ricopetrecovery.org!
