About 13 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Flo Rida will absolutely “welcome you to her house”. Flo is the outgoing, curious little explorer of the duo. She loves discovering new things, checking out her surroundings, and is almost always the first one to trot over and say hello. She approaches the world with confidence, curiosity, and a very waggy tail. This girl has two great loves in life: food and playtime. Flo gets the cutest bursts of puppy energy and throws herself wholeheartedly into whatever fun is happening, whether that’s playing with her sister Shakira, investigating something new, or giving puppy eyes for treats. In fact, if you hear a peep from Flo, there’s a very good chance it’s snack related. For such a playful and adventurous girl, Flo also has an impressively independent side. She absolutely loves her crate and zonks out for the night. She’s comfortable having her own space and is perfectly happy entertaining herself when it’s time to wind down. She also seems to enjoy TV and zones in when Paw Patrol is on. It has been such a joy fostering Flo and her sister Shakira. They settled into our home so quickly and have taken new environments, sounds, people, and experiences in stride. While they love playing together, their individual personalities have really started to shine. Flo Rida would be the perfect little sidekick for someone looking for a confident, playful, food-motivated adventurer who is always ready to explore — and will happily be the first one to greet you. Flo Rida is approximately 0y 5m 12d old and may be 13 to 27 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
For such a playful and adventurous girl, Flo also has an impressively independent side. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
This girl has two great loves in life: food and playtime. 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
She absolutely loves her crate and zonks out for the night. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
