A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 33 lbs.
Meet Draco! This handsome boy from Puerto Rico is sweet and loving and is slowly getting the hang of life in the big city. With so many new sights, sounds, and experiences, the hustle and bustle can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, but Draco is taking it all in, day by day, and settling into foster life nicely. Draco loves getting pets and has such a sweet and gentle nature. He’s been taking his time getting comfortable in his new surroundings, and each day we get to see a little more of him come out of his shell. He’s even starting to warm up to his foster brother, who is more than ready to show him just how much fun having a foster brother can be! Draco is a loving boy who is looking for someone who will give him the time and patience he needs to feel comfortable and confident. With a little love and reassurance, this sweet boy will make a wonderful companion. Draco (Bonded with Dottie) is approximately 1y 9m 8d old and is fully grown at 33 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
Draco loves getting pets and has such a sweet and gentle nature. 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.

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.
