Knuckles

Hey, I'm Knuckles... but my fam (my shelter staff) calls me Knucks. I'm a 1.5-year-old Mastiff mix with big feelings, big strength, and an even bigger personality.<br/><br/>I've been through some rough stuff. I was abandoned right outside ACS, tied to a post overnight by the people I trusted most. By morning, I'd chewed myself loose, but trust? That took a little longer. Honestly... can you blame me?<br/><br/>Thankfully, my fam (my shelter staff) didn't give up on me. They've been patient, understanding, and have helped me start learning that some people really do stick around. I'm working with a trainer to channel my intensity, and every day I'm making progress.<br/><br/>At my core? I'm a passionate young guy who just really, really wants to play tug until my jaws tire out. Tug is my love language. Give me a toy, a strong grip, and some patience, and I'm one happy dude.<br/><br/>I'm up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested, and neutered - so all my important stuff is covered while I keep working on becoming the very best version of me.<br/><br/>I may have a tough backstory, but I'm more than that. I'm resilient, goofy, loyal, and full of potential. Underneath all my strength is a young dog still learning how to trust, love, and maybe... eventually... let go of the tug rope.<br/><br/>My adoption fee has been kindly sponsored by our friends at A+ Derr!
