Knox was pulled from a shelter in El Paso, Texas, after being taken in as a stray. We don't know what his life looked like before he arrived at the shelter, but he's now getting the chance to simply be a puppy-learning, playing, cuddling, and discovering what life with a family is all about.

What we do know is the puppy in front of us today: a sweet little guy who loves dogs, loves people, learns quickly, and has already impressed his foster with how well he's doing with potty training.

He's still at the very beginning of his journey, and his forever family will get to help shape the dog he becomes.

If you're looking for a cuddly little shadow with a goofy personality, a curious mind, and an impressive start on learning the ropes, Knox may be your guy.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
