A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 35 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Leon is the sweetest little guy with a personality that will absolutely steal your heart! Despite having only three legs, Leon doesn’t let that slow him down one bit. In fact, he doesn’t even seem to realize he’s missing a leg (except for stairs). He has the most expressive ears that flop around and perk up when he gets a good treat. Leon is mostly housebroken (a couple of accidents in the house) and rarely barks, although he does get a little sad and may cry for 10-15 minutes when left alone or put in his crate for the night. He’s incredibly affectionate, gentle, loves to snuggle, and would likely make a wonderful addition to any family. Leon is approximately 0y 5m 29d old and may be 65 to 75 pounds when fully grown. 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
He’s incredibly affectionate, gentle, loves to snuggle, and would likely make a wonderful addition to any family. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
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
Leon is mostly housebroken (a couple of accidents in the house) and rarely barks, although he does get a little sad and may cry for 10-15 minutes…. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
