A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 43 lbs.
Miss Lemon Ginger is the goodest girl on the block! A certified lover girl and an absolute sweetheart who will steal anyone’s heart. She’s a ball of energy, loves her walks, playing with her toys, and diving into your lap for snuggles. If she could crawl into your skin she would. Despite her energy, she still has quiet hours, loves a nap, and is easily entertained by her Kong toy. Shes still learning her manners but is easily directed, and is making lots of improvements very quickly! She’s very quiet and almost never barks, except a small bark if someone knocks on the door. She really is an angel, never mischievous and really seems to want to make you happy. She’s a curious girl, loves being your shadow, and loves people and bird watching on her walks. On her walks she can be a bit of a tugger in new environments but has been easing into her routine walks. She is great in her crate, settles in a few minutes and sleeps through the night. If you’re looking for a goofy love bug to jump into your arms, this sweetheart is for you! Lemon Ginger is approximately 6y 1m 10d old and is fully grown at 43 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’s a curious girl, loves being your shadow, and loves people and bird watching on her walks. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She’s a ball of energy, loves her walks, playing with her toys, and diving into your lap for snuggles. 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 very quiet and almost never barks, except a small bark if someone knocks on the door. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
