Meet Lyla! At just 5 months old and 27 pounds, Lyla is the sweetest, snuggliest girl with an amazing personality to match. She is incredibly affectionate and loves soaking up all the pets and cuddles she can get. Lyla is friendly, social, and always excited to make a new friend, whether they have two legs or four! She’s also an incredibly smart and curious puppy. She is attentive, eager to learn, and already doing amazingly well with her training. She impressed her fosters by almost fully housetraining herself and putting herself to sleep in her crate! Lyla really is the total package: sweet, smart, social, playful, and an absolute world-class cuddler. She has so much love to give and is looking for a family who will love having her by their side as much as she’ll love being there. If you’re looking for an affectionate best friend, adventure buddy, and professional snuggler all rolled into one adorable pup, Lyla might just be your girl! 💕 Lyla is approximately 0y 4m 26d old and may be 50 to 60 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
Lyla really is the total package: sweet, smart, social, playful, and an absolute world-class cuddler. 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
She impressed her fosters by almost fully housetraining herself and putting herself to sleep in her crate!. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
