A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 29 lbs.
Meet Madison! Madison is 3-years-old and one of the happiest, friendliest girls you could hope to meet. She's wonderfully easy-going and treats everyone as a friend she hasn't met yet. She's great with people and other dogs, so she'd fit into any household. She's also a perfect walking companion: calm on the lead, relaxed and in no rush, happy to stroll for as long as you like. At home she's very chilled and already house trained, and she's most content curled up beside her people. Madison has already been a mum and has now been spayed, so she's ready to put her paws up and enjoy life as a pet. She's a little on the slim side at the moment, but she has a fantastic appetite and is working on filling out. All she needs now is a forever family to spoil her. Could that be you? Madison is approximately 3y 0m 4d 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
She's also a perfect walking companion: calm on the lead, relaxed and in no rush, happy to stroll for as long as you like. 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.

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.
