A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 58 lbs.
Nutella was abandoned on the Lower East Side. She was found tied to a fence, with neighborhood residents leaving her food and water. We brought her to Animal Haven -- and safety -- where we scanned for a microchip, but did not find one. Despite being abandoned, Nutella is incredibly sweet and loves human attention. She's beginning to show us her goofy side, and despite being skinny and having some skin issues, she's overall in decent shape. Nutella deserves a new beginning. Will you welcome her into your life?
🧠 Temperament
Despite being abandoned, Nutella is incredibly sweet and loves human attention. Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans.
🎾 Exercise
High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets. They are strong and benefit from structured training.
✂️ Grooming
Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance. Confirm your building's policy first.
