Labrador Retriever and Mountain Cur Dogs Available for Adoption in Mokena, Illinois

Meet Knox!

Knox is an 8-month-old Mountain Cur/Lab mix with the sweetest soul and a heart full of love. This handsome boy was found by a Good Samaritan in the middle of winter, starving and cold. Thankfully, he’s now safe at NAWS and ready to find the forever home he’s been waiting for!

Knox is everything you could want in a puppy - sweet, motivated, and playful. He has completely melted into all of our laps (even though we don’t have the heart to tell him he’s 50 lbs and still growing!). He truly believes he’s a lap dog, and honestly… we let him. He loves everyone he meets and does well with other dogs. Knox’s loving, happy personality will make him an incredible addition to a family looking for a loyal and fun companion.
