A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 25 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Arabelle arrived to New York City during a nor’easter but our time together has been anything but stormy! Arabelle has a favorite grassy spot to pee just steps away from our front door. She occasionally uses a pee pad in the house in between potty breaks. Quick to learn, and food motivated, she has learned a couple of commands already. She knows “sit” and “touch.” She’s close to mastering “drop it.” Since she’s still a puppy we are gifted with zoomies and puppy antics. Mostly, Arabelle is a chill girl. She sat by her foster’s side for hours of college football just happy to snuggle and be included. She is super sweet and cuddly. Her fosters suspect her bread to be 98% sweet angel baby, 2% super mutt. (A DNA test has not been conducted). She will bring joy to any home. Arabelle is approximately 0y 3m 13d old and may be 84 to 102 pounds when fully grown. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Her fosters suspect her bread to be 98% sweet angel baby, 2% super mutt. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She knows “sit” and “touch.” She’s close to mastering “drop it.” Since she’s still a puppy we are gifted with zoomies and puppy antics. 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
Arabelle arrived to New York City during a nor’easter but our time together has been anything but stormy!. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
