A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 11 lbs.
Meet Enrique (aka Enrique Iglesias)! This little man has had a rough start in life but is ready for things to turn around and be someone's forever pup. Enrique is very shy and arrived into his foster home very shut down. But after about a week in his crate, only coming out to potty on a pee pad, he started to be brave and explore the apartment and even try to play with his foster siblings. He is working on allowing human touch and going outside. But he appears to be pee pad trained and is very crate trained and doesn't mind being left alone at all. Enrique needs someone patient and understanding of his slower pace to thrive. Could that person be you? Enrique is approximately 3y 7m 11d 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
Enrique is very shy and arrived into his foster home very shut down. 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.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
After about a week in his crate, only coming out to potty on a pee pad, he started to be brave and explore the apartment and even try to play with…. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
