HKRT Star Pupils

Our Star Pupils are Hard Knocks dogs who have been through our entire program. They have excelled in training, decompression, and socialization. These dogs are completely ready for a family with no limitations.

Special handling

Our Special Handling dogs are Hard Knocks dogs who have completed our decompression phase. We have identified special handling/management techniques that will provide the best possible environment for them to thrive in a new home.

Project dogs

Our Project dogs are Hard Knocks dogs who have completed our decompression phase. These dogs are currently going through our training program and need a family who is willing to commit to their lifelong training journey with patience and understanding. These dogs are a work in progress to being the best they can be.

Fospice/sanctuary

Our Fospice/Sanctuary dogs are dogs that will remain in Hard Knocks' care for the remainder of their lives. These particular dogs are thriving in their decompression environment and will live out their days knowing love and stability.

These dogs are currently unavailable for adoption. They have just entered our program and will need time to adjust to their new routine.
