Lilly is the sweetest little lap dog in a 40lb dog’s body. There is no place she would rather be than snuggling next to (or on top of) her people. Lilly can be wary of new people, but feed her some treats and she’ll become your new best friend. In fact she’ll do almost anything for treats, and loves exercising her brain to extract every ounce of kibble or peanut butter from an enrichment toy. Equally at home in the city or the suburbs, Lilly is happy to go wherever you go. She will be your companion for life. Lilly is approximately 2y 3m 19d old and may be 30 to 50 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
Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed. The rescue's write-up is the best guide.
🎾 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
Equally at home in the city or the suburbs, Lilly is happy to go wherever you go. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
