Hi there! I’m Hard Knock, also known as Knocks. I’m the one of the smaller puppies of the ‘Annie’ litter. Named after the song about how hard orphans have life, I promise you will NOT be singing this song if you adopt me. I am quiet and sweet, and you can often find me napping while my siblings are playing. Seriously. I’m napping All. The. Time. Where’s Knocks? Oh, he’s under the couch snoozing. My foster mom says “Get up Knocks, so I have something to tell these people besides the fact that you love sleep!” But I don’t care, I just move under the desk so she can’t reach me! If you think you want to get to know me, just let my foster mom know and she’ll plan a nap- err, play date for us, okay?! See you soon!

*Foster mom here! *
This litter was born in rescue on 12/21/22! They are just getting started on potty training since it’s been so cold, however they do well using puppy pads and tend to go in the same spot where they can smell other dogs have gone. They’ve been heavily exposed to the sights, smells, and sounds of other dogs in their foster home, (from 20-120 lbs) and as they get their shots they will be socialized further. They live with a four year old, and have been exposed to younger children as well. They’ve been introduced to cats, and various farm animals. They’ve also visited nursing homes and had exposure to wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. They have started kennel & leash training, just for short bursts at a time. Their mom is an AWESOME family dog, and I’ve worked hard to give these guys a solid start following in her footsteps!

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination if age appropriate, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $595.00
