About 32 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Hi, I’m Gloria! I’ve made my way up to the Big Apple from down South and I’m looking forward to finding my forever home! I love people so much! Everyone I see on the street is a potential new friend, and I always want to go up and say hi. I even love all the New York City pigeons I’ve met along the way! I’m still getting used to big-city life, so all the sights, sounds, and smells are very exciting to me. I like exploring and checking everything out on my walks, and I’m looking forward to becoming a true NYC pup. When I’m home, I love following my foster dad around the apartment and keeping him company. I especially love chasing him around, playing tug, and getting lots of attention. After some exercise and playtime, I’m happy to settle down and relax with him. I’m still under a year old, so I have plenty of puppy energy and am a pretty big girl for my age! I’d love a home where I can get plenty of exercise, play, and opportunities to explore. But most importantly, I’m looking for a family who will give me the love, activity, and companionship I need to grow into my best self. Gloria is approximately 0y 7m 17d old and may be 46 to 56 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
Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed. The rescue's write-up is the best guide.
🎾 Exercise
After some exercise and playtime, I’m happy to settle down and relax with him. 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
Everyone I see on the street is a potential new friend, and I always want to go up and say hi. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
