About 10 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Hello Friends! My name is Louis, but I like to be called Little Lou or Louie! Louie is the sweetest little snuggle bug and one of those puppies who instantly melts your heart. He is incredibly lovable and affectionate and absolutely loves cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to his people. If you pick Louie up, he will happily snuggle right up to your face, give you kisses, and soak up all the affection he can get. Louie also loves curling up next to you for a cozy nap and is happiest when he can be right by your side. He has such a gentle, loving personality and makes it very easy to fall in love with him. He is truly the cutest little guy—you just want to scoop him up, put him in your pocket, and take him everywhere with you! 💙🐾 Louis is approximately 0y 2m 7d old and may be 52 to 62 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 has such a gentle, loving personality and makes it very easy to fall in love with him. 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
It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
