A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 20 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
This little lady is Cosmo, sister of Conan! She is 8 months old and 18lbs and has most definitely nailed the puppy eyes already. She’s everything you’d hope and dream of from a puppy - sweet, playful, a little cautious, and just so silly. Cosmo was rescued alongside her siblings and mom from a dog meat farm not too long ago. Luckily since she was rescued young, most of her life has been filled with encouragement and play. To say Cosmo is a fan of her toys is an understatement - she will meticulously pull multiple toys out of the bin and take turns playing with each of them independently. As she gets more comfy in her foster home, her antics have become goofier! She’s also a gem with her crate training and loves taking long naps in there while her fosters run errands or work from home. On walks she can be a little weary while exiting the building, but has quickly turned nervous walks into happy trots. A loud boom can still startle her but hey we’re all a little jumpy from time to time. 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. Meet Us at Our Next Adoption Event Where: Culture Lab LIC, 5-25 46th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 When: Sat Oct 4th Time: 1-4pm 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
She’s everything you’d hope and dream of from a puppy - sweet, playful, a little cautious, and just so silly. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She’s also a gem with her crate training and loves taking long naps in there while her fosters run errands or work from home. 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
On walks she can be a little weary while exiting the building, but has quickly turned nervous walks into happy trots. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
