A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Bingus is a tiny, gentle soul who would happily spend her days right by your side. She’s the kind of dog who quickly becomes your little shadow—following you from room to room, curling up beside everyone on the couch, and always being ready for a cuddle (or, more likely, a cuddle followed immediately by a nap). She’s endlessly curious about the world around her, even when that world feels a little scary. With a little reassurance and her people nearby, she’s happy to take it all in at her own pace. Bingus is truly the definition of chill. She could easily make a career out of napping, loves being cozy, and doesn’t ask for much beyond a soft place to land and people to love. Give her affection, patience, and a spot next to you on the couch, and she’ll return that love tenfold. Bingus will love you just as much as you love her—and she’d be very happy to spend the rest of her life proving it. Bingus is approximately 1y 0m 14d old and is fully grown at 25 pounds. 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
Bingus is a tiny, gentle soul who would happily spend her days right by your side. 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
It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
