A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 12 lbs.
Lady is a sweet, easy going girl who is excited for her new life! At pick up, Lady was nervous and unsure of herself, but after a nice meal and a good sleep, she woke up so happy and ready to take on the day. She is learning how to play with toys and run in the backyard. She is not bothered by other dogs that walk past her on the sidewalk and will keep walking forward. While walking, she sometimes will zig zag to sniff around but will follow you when redirected if needed. Once inside, she likes to cuddle up beside you on the couch. Lady is a real foodie and will happily eat anything you give her. Lady is approximately 7y 0m 12d old and is fully grown at 12 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
Lady is a sweet, easy going girl who is excited for her new life!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She is learning how to play with toys and run in the backyard. 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 is not bothered by other dogs that walk past her on the sidewalk and will keep walking forward. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
