A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 11 lbs.
Ellie is a sweet, loving girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Her favorite thing in the world is being close to her people, whether that means curling up beside you for a cozy snuggle, giving you lots of sweet kisses, or simply soaking up all the attention she can get. She’s a true cuddle bug who will happily keep you company all day long. But don’t let her love of snuggles fool you...Ellie has a playful, silly side, too! She often gets the zoomies and loves a good game of hide-and-seek and will keep you laughing as she searches for her favorite hiding spots. Ellie is the perfect mix of affectionate and playful. Whether she’s curled up in your lap, covering you in kisses, zooming around the house or playing her favorite games, she brings so much joy wherever she goes. Ellie is approximately 2y 5m 3d old and is fully grown at 11 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
Ellie is a sweet, loving girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She often gets the zoomies and loves a good game of hide-and-seek and will keep you laughing as she searches for her favorite hiding spots. 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.
