Meet Lobster! 🦞❤️ This happy, affectionate pup loves giving kisses, staying close to his people, and snuggling up for belly rubs. He’s friendly with strangers and other dogs and doesn’t bark at either! On walks, he’s a curious but cautious explorer who is building confidence around city noises and learning his leash manners. Lobster is also still working on crate and house training but is improving by the day, so he’ll benefit from a patient, encouraging home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who enjoys outdoor adventures (not in the rain) and cozy couch cuddles, Lobster might be your perfect match! Lobster is approximately 1y 7m 9d old and is fully grown at 29 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
🦞❤️ This happy, affectionate pup loves giving kisses, staying close to his people, and snuggling up for belly rubs. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
On walks, he’s a curious but cautious explorer who is building confidence around city noises and learning his leash manners. 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
He’s friendly with strangers and other dogs and doesn’t bark at either!. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
