Butterfinger is a sweet, curious, playful girl who wants to either be next to you sleeping or playing with her toys! She has decided that all the toys in her house belong to her now and has collected quite a stash in her crate to nap with. She has puppy energy and play time but also is a great sleeper both with naps during the day and over night. Butterfinger is curious about other dogs but a little nervous in her approach. She loved to 'boop' our resident dog with her nose until he will give her the attention she deserves. She is a quirky pup who is sweet as can be. Butterfinger is approximately 0y 7m 19d old and may be 45 to 55 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.

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

Butterfinger is a sweet, curious, playful girl who wants to either be next to you sleeping or playing with her toys!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

She has puppy energy and play time but also is a great sleeper both with naps during the day and over night. 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

She has decided that all the toys in her house belong to her now and has collected quite a stash in her crate to nap with. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
