“Foxy is a true companion dog” A future buddy. He can either be for apartment or home. He has been with me three days.Still getting to know the world, New sight and sounds are a lot for him right now, so we are taking everything slowly and letting him explore at his own pace. He makes little brave steps everyday. “Working on his social skills- he’s enthusiastic but still learning hello politely. He does best with slow introductions and calm buddies to show him the ropes. We are working on building confidence, learning how to be a pet/ still learning about the world. He is looking for a calm home without young children he is sensitive guy who gets overwhelmed by loud noises. He has so much love to give.. Give him time to come out of his shell an he will absolutely thrive. Give him a few days, will become affectionate. His favorite thing in the world is belly rubs, slow massages and PEANUT BUTTER! Foxy is approximately 7y 0m 10d old and is fully grown at 8.3 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.

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
We are working on building confidence, learning how to be a pet/ still learning about the world. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
