A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 27 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Max is the sweetest lovebug--very affectionate and always ready for cuddles, kisses, and pets. He's also down to chill nearby if you are busy doing something else. He's still getting used to the noisy sounds of the city, but once he adjusts (and learns some basic commands) he will be as perfect as a dog can get. Max is approximately 0y 10m 13d old and may be 28 to 34 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
He's still getting used to the noisy sounds of the city, but once he adjusts (and learns some basic commands) he will be as perfect as a dog can get. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
