Meet Isak, the sweetest pup of the pack! He is a very mild-mannered, gentle boy that wants nothing more than to be cuddled up next to you every chance he gets. In fact, better than next to you, his preference is to be on you, be it on your lap, belly, or even perched atop your chest, Isak wants to be connected and eagerly receives pets and kisses. He is as quiet as a church mouse not even barking at the door if someone rings or knocks. Isak is very curious about other dogs and doesn't display any aggression. Rather, he wags his tail in excitement at the site of other 4 legged creatures like him. In fact, he made instant friends with my resident dogs (both Pomeranians) at introduction happily walking together in unison. While Isak is brave boy and walks well on leash, he is a tad trepidatious about his surroundings often pausing to look around and behind himself while walking. However, will gentle coaching and praise he gets back on track. Isak is approximately 2y 2m 23d old and is fully grown at 8 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.

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

He is a very mild-mannered, gentle boy that wants nothing more than to be cuddled up next to you every chance he gets. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

While Isak is brave boy and walks well on leash, he is a tad trepidatious about his surroundings often pausing to look around and behind himself…. 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

He is as quiet as a church mouse not even barking at the door if someone rings or knocks. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.

Adoption fee $525
