Jewel is approximately 2y 0m 8d old and is fully grown at 9 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
Jewel may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time and you’ll quickly discover what a sweet, loving girl she truly is. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She’s been wonderful with her canine foster brother, knowing when to give him space but also enjoying some fun playtime together!. 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’s already house-trained, crate-trained, and has a great appetite. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
