A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 40 lbs.
Hi! I'm Boogie, and I'm so excited to meet you! I just moved to NYC and can't wait to explore the city. People tell me I'm adorable, and I'm happy to prove them right. I might also be the friendliest dog you'll ever meet: within seconds of saying hello, I'll probably try to give you a hug or ask for a belly rub. I love walking around the city and sniffing out new places, but I'm just as happy hanging out while you cook or work. I'm still getting used to the big-city noises and sights, like trucks, busy intersections, and subway grates, so I'm not the best listener outside yet. With a little time and patience, I know I'll settle in. A few of my favorite things: peanut butter (especially in my Kong or on a lick mat), venison treats, and bully sticks. I get along with other dogs and kids, so I'd be a great fit for a family, but I'd also make a wonderful companion for someone living solo. Boogie is approximately 2y 5m 8d old and is fully grown at 40 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
Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed. The rescue's write-up is the best guide.
🎾 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
I'm still getting used to the big-city noises and sights, like trucks, busy intersections, and subway grates, so I'm not the best listener outside…. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
