Sugar, spice, and everything nice - Dust Bunny has a huge amount of personality packed in a 5 pound body. She has settled in well to her foster's home and loves to sit calmly at brunch in her sling. She has classic little dog syndrome and communicates her desires clearly. She deserves a family who will respect her boundaries and advocate for her when she needs space. She loves to play fetch and has mastered sit, down, and spin. She is very food motivated and loves to learn so will be a fun puppy to bond with through training. Overall, Bunny is a fan favorite amongst her foster's friends, coworkers, and family and can't wait to make more friends in her forever home. Dust Bunny is approximately 0y 5m 18d old and may be 10 to 12 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.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Sugar, spice, and everything nice - Dust Bunny has a huge amount of personality packed in a 5 pound body. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She loves to play fetch and has mastered sit, down, and spin. 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
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.
