Knicks's Story

Meet Knicks! Knicks has a perfect pink nose and is 12lbs and three years old. He was originally rescued in Texas. He's a good boy whose personality really starts to shine when he feels settled. He's an ideal companion dog, happy to trot around the block and supervise WFH days. He's ready to meet his forever people! His foster says: "Knicks is a gentle, affectionate little guy steadily adjusting to life in the city. He’s still learning the rhythm of NYC — the sounds, the traffic, the bustle — but he’s already showing progress and growing more confident every day. He walks at a great pace and could easily keep up as a light jogging buddy. Indoors, he’s calm, quiet, and rarely barks. If left alone, he may whine briefly but settles down quickly once he knows you’re coming back. Knicks loves touch and affection, often asking for cuddles and giving sweet kisses when he feels comfortable. He’s gentle and expressive — sometimes a little mouthy in play, but never rough. Despite being a cuddle bug, he also enjoys his independence and will happily curl up in his own cozy spot when he wants downtime. Knicks would thrive in a patient, loving home that can offer a calm routine, soft affection, and steady reassurance as he continues to bloom. He’s house-trained, quiet, and endlessly endearing — the perfect mix of affectionate and easygoing." Knicks tested positive for heartworm and was treated before leaving Texas. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy

First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
