German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Franklin, Indiana

Meet Knox!

A 33lb, 2-year-old, German Shepherd who found himself surrendered to the shelter no fault of his own. Knox has a lot of love to give and is just waiting for the right home to share it with.

According to his previous owner, Knox is partially house trained. He hasn’t lived with cats or children before, so any introductions should be done thoughtfully and at a pace that helps him feel comfortable and secure.

He has a high energy level and absolutely enjoys being active. While he didn’t live with other dogs in his previous home, he did have positive experiences playing with dogs outside of it, suggesting he may enjoy a canine companion with proper introductions.

This energetic boy would thrive in a home that can match his enthusiasm for life—think daily walks, play sessions, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy.
