A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 24 lbs.
Hi, my name is Duchess and I came all the way from Kentucky to find my forever home! I am a very sweet girl, and I love to cuddle on the couch all day. I’m still getting used to all of the sights and sounds of the city, but my foster mom always says I’m very brave. I’m very curious and love to sniffvestigate, and my favorite thing in the world is cheese. I can take a minute to warmup to new people, but once I know I can trust you we’ll be friends for life. I can’t wait to meet you! Duchess is approximately 3y 8m 28d old and is fully grown at 24 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 am a very sweet girl, and I love to cuddle on the couch all day. 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.

I’m still getting used to all of the sights and sounds of the city, but my foster mom always says I’m very brave. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
