From Ruff Start Rescue

Knox is all heart, a giant "puppy" overflowing with love and potential! This intelligent boy is eager to learn but needs a patient hand to guide him. While he’s a big, high-energy dog, he's incredibly trainable, just waiting for the right leader. We're currently focusing on basic manners like "sit," "off," and navigating stairs and doorways politely. We're also teaching him proper house training and boundaries to curb marking. Knox thrives on consistency and patience – qualities his future family must embrace! Knox needs a substantial energy outlet – think 2-3 hours daily of high-intensity exercise or mentally stimulating activities. Without this, his exuberance can be overwhelming. A large fenced yard is highly recommended for his zoomies! He's working on crate training, as his separation anxiety leads to barking, clawing, and general distress when left alone. He feels most secure with a person in his sight and needs a family who is home often to help build his confidence. Knox loves other tolerant dogs, provided his energy is managed. He's gentle with other animals, from chickens to cats, and shows no food or toy aggression. He just needs continued guidance on appropriate play…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
