Fully grown at about 37 lbs.
Meet Finley, your new best friend! Sweet as they come, she is currently living happily with two kids in the middle of Downtown Brooklyn, where she’s taken all the city noise, busy sidewalks, and everyday chaos completely in stride. In fact, we haven’t heard her make a single sound or bark since she arrived! She absolutely loves her crate and seems to view it as her own cozy little safe space. But her favorite thing might just be a good belly rub which she will happily submit to 100% of the time. Affection is her middle name! On walks, Finley is curious about the world around her and enjoys checking out both people and other dogs. She greets everyone with a relaxed body, a wagging tail, and a gentle, easygoing attitude. She’s not bothered by the sounds and activity of the city and seems to be taking her new surroundings in stride. Finley is affectionate, gentle, curious, and incredibly easy to love. She’s the kind of dog who quietly wins you over and makes herself right at home. We feel very lucky to be her foster family and we can’t wait for her to find her forever home. Finley is approximately 4y 0m 26d old and is fully grown at 37 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
She greets everyone with a relaxed body, a wagging tail, and a gentle, easygoing attitude. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
On walks, Finley is curious about the world around her and enjoys checking out both people and other dogs. 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
