Knox - American Bulldog and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Lakeland, Florida

Knox is working very hard on perfecting his puppy eyes... and honestly? We think he's got it down.

But behind those sweet little looks is still a lot of fear and uncertainty. Knox came to us with his sibling from a backyard breeding situation as a severely undersocialized puppy, and the world is still a pretty overwhelming place for him.

The good news? He wants to learn.

At only 6 months old, Knox is already starting to unravel out of his shell and discover what it means to feel safe. What he really needs now is a foster or forever home with other confident dogs to help show him the ropes and teach him that life doesn't have to be scary.

He doesn't need perfection. He just needs patience, love, and someone willing to be the bridge between fear and confidence.



Knox came in with Peace. Stay tuned for more details as we find out about him!

Knox is 6 months old and weighs 52 pounds.
