A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 45 lbs.
Hi - I'm Bugs a very happy and polite pup. I love super long walks and following you around the house! I really like belly rubs and my favorite is snuggling on the couch. I like all things chicken. I would rather go with you when you go out but I am also happy to wait for you at home because I am an independent doggo - although I will make sure to say goodbye before you head out. I am looking forward to finding my forever home. Bugs is approximately 6y 0m 14d old and is fully grown at 45 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
I would rather go with you when you go out but I am also happy to wait for you at home because I am an independent doggo - although I will make sure…. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
I love super long walks and following you around the house!. 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.

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.
