A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 27 lbs.
Cookie has got a big noggin’ and he’s actually using it for things! This dapper and inquisitive guy is 2 years old and 25lbs. He’s just as smart as he is cute and has been wowwing the whole neighborhood since his arrival. This sweet little man was rescued from a life lived outdoors in a cold metal cage with no flooring. A small group of advocates visited him every day, checking on him and keeping him in good spirits, until they could finally take him to a better future. It took consistent pressure, but the ‘owner’ relinquished him willingly. Now in foster care in the city, Cookie is continuing to live large (even with his smol legs). He is doing fantastic in the crate and potty training. He loves laying on anything plush and has definitely mastered the puppy dog eyes. Outside he is adventurous and playful! He needs a little help with walking in a straight line, but mainly because he’s just so excited. You don’t have to wait for an adoption event. In-person meet-and-greets are available in the NYC area, with virtual meet-and-greets available for adopters outside NYC. Korean K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit saving dogs from the Korean dog meat trade and overcrowded shelters.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
This sweet little man was rescued from a life lived outdoors in a cold metal cage with no flooring. 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
He is doing fantastic in the crate and potty training. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
