A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Jolene is a super affectionate and very well-behaved 1-year-old! She came to us from a KY shelter, and we really didn't know much about her. She settled in so quickly and easily and immediately just wanted to be loved and give love. We were pleased to find that she was crate trained, slept through the night on her own, is house trained, and is very polite about treats and meals. She is a very smart girl, and in 48 hours she has already shown a lot of improvement in walking on leash. She is also doing really well learning some basic commands. Her coat is so soft and fluffy; she's like a walking blanket, which is perfect because she also loves to lie on or near her people. One of the best things about Jolene is that she is a 5-star couch potato and cuddler. She really wants to be close to her people and will burrow into you and get cozy for a while. She is a super sweet and smart girl overall! Jolene is approximately 1y 0m 4d old and is fully grown at 30 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
She is a super sweet and smart girl overall!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
One of the best things about Jolene is that she is a 5-star couch potato and cuddler. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Her coat is so soft and fluffy; she's like a walking blanket, which is perfect because she also loves to lie on or near her people. Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
We were pleased to find that she was crate trained, slept through the night on her own, is house trained, and is very polite about treats and meals. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
