Allow us to introduce Knight, a 1-year-old Schnauzer mix with the heart of a hero and the goofiness of a court jester. This handsome young lad may not come with armor, but he does carry toys around like prized treasures and is always ready for a grand adventure. Knight’s favorite royal duties include chasing toys, playing with his doggy friends, and then retiring to the castle (aka your couch) where he can transform into a professional lap dog. While he can be a little timid at first, once he knows you’re a friend and not a dragon, his sweet and loving personality shines brighter than a knight’s polished shield. This goofy boy would love a home with a yard where he can gallop around practicing his zoomies and defending the kingdom from suspicious squirrels. He’s fun, affectionate, and guaranteed to keep you smiling with his silly antics. If your castle is missing a loyal companion with a big heart and a love for toys, Knight is ready to ride into your life and claim his throne… preferably on your lap. &#226&#154&#148&#239&#184&#143 Adoption Fee: $400 Transport Available: Northeast & Midwest for $250 Apply to adopt your noble companion at: www.adoggie4you.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:30 pm
