About Knuckles
Meet Pork Knuckles – The Long-Legged, Big-Eared, Loveable Rascal!
Looking for a dog with the charm of a cartoon character, the heart of a cuddle bug, and the legs of a baby deer? Meet Pork Knuckles—a handsome pup with ears that catch the wind, legs that seem to have a mind of their own, and a face so cute it should be illegal.
After a stint in the pound, Knuckles is making up for lost time with pure, unfiltered puppy enthusiasm. Whether he’s zooming around like a wobbly gazelle, flopping into your lap like a sack of love, or tilting his head in deep “thought” (spoiler: he’s thinking about snacks), he’s always ready to brighten your day.
But don’t be fooled by his goofy charm—Knuckles is a smart cookie. In just a few short weeks, he’s already picking up general obedience, leash manners, and is well on his way with toilet training. He’s eager to please, quick to learn, and always down for a snack-based negotiation.
Knuckles has so much life to experience—new places to explore, new friends to make, and plenty more zoomies to perfect. All he’s missing is his forever family to love him.
Knuckles’ Ideal Home
🏡 A yard where he can stretch his long legs and keep working on his toilet training (because, let’s be honest, nobody wants surprise "gifts" in the living room).
⏳ Humans with enough time to keep him entertained—otherwise, he’ll create his own fun, and your favourite shoes might not survive.
🌆 While he could adapt to city life, a quieter home would help him build confidence as he explores the world.
💖 Most of all, he’s looking for a family who’ll embrace his playful energy, keep him engaged, and be ready for plenty of laughs and snuggles.
Knuckles’ Energy Level
🔋 Thankfully, Knuckles is already crate trained, giving him a built-in “off switch” when it’s time to wind down (or when you need a breather).
🎾 He loves a good game of fetch or tug-of-war, but he’s also learning that life isn’t all about play—settling down is just as important!
🧩 While he still has bursts of puppy energy, he’s making great progress in self-regulation. With a structured routine, calming activities, and enrichment like puzzle games, he’s well on his way to becoming a balanced, happy pup.
Knuckles’ Suitability with Children
👶 Knuckles hasn’t officially met any kids yet, but he’s been confident with all the humans he’s encountered so far.
🧸 If your kids are sturdy enough to handle a playful puppy and are willing to share their toys—especially the squeaky ones—Knuckles could be their new best friend!
Knuckles’ Suitability with Other Pets
🐶 Loves other dogs—maybe a little too much. He’s like that overly enthusiastic friend who doesn’t quite understand personal space. He’s currently living with four dogs and thriving but could also be a solo star in a one-dog household.
🐱 Cats? The jury’s still out. He’s not plotting against them, but he’s also not writing them love letters. If you have a cat with a strong sense of humour (and quick reflexes!), we can discuss a slow introduction.
If you’re ready for a dog that will make you laugh daily, keep you on your toes, and love you endlessly, Pork Knuckles is waiting to meet you! 🏡💙

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form.
For Cats: https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870
For Dogs: https://form.jotform.co/80677377750872
Please use these links rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
