A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 16 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Bell is a 6-month-old Jindo Mix weighing 16 lbs. Rescued from a neglected dog farm, Bell takes her time warming up — but that's not weakness, that's wisdom. Patient, loyal, and deeply affectionate once she decides you're safe, Bell rewards every ounce of kindness tenfold. She can't wait to find her forever home in NYC!
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Patient, loyal, and deeply affectionate once she decides you're safe, Bell rewards every ounce of kindness tenfold. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
