Knox

      Meet Knox!  This stunning 3–4 month-old Belgian Malinois puppy is looking for a FOSTER-TO-ADOPT home.  (He needs to complete his vaccines/neuter in our Rochester NY veterinary network before he can officially be adopted, but he’s ready to start bonding with his future family now!)   What Knox Needs Knox is exactly what you’d expect from a young Malinois: •Extremely intelligent •High drive and high energy •No built-in “off switch” •Eager to learn He requires an experienced home, ideally with prior Malinois or strong working/shepherd breed experience. Training will be MANDATORY. Structure, consistency, exercise, and discipline are not optional - they’re essential for him to thrive.   He is not a casual companion - he’s a lifestyle commitment.   Dog Social Knox is great with the dogs in his current foster home - males and females, young and old. However, because of his energy level, any resident dogs must be: •Well socialized •Confident •Patient with a young, intense puppy   Home Requirements Breed or working-dog experience required •No small children •No small animals •Committed to ongoing training He is crate trained and mostly potty trained — he just needs guidance and continued structure.   Our goal is to place Knox in a home that understands what he needs to succeed and is ready to invest the time and effort to help him become an exceptional adult. If you understand the commitment of a working breed and are ready for the challenge and reward, Knox may be your perfect match.   Applying is the first step to meet him - APPLICATION   (See our Dog Adoption FAQs before applying)
