A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 9 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Mimi is a precious puppy who is taking NYC in stride. She is very intelligent and has already figured out going to the bathroom outside and walking on the right side of the sidewalk. She's still a puppy though and does get extremely distracted on her walks by any sound or person, so a walk down the block may take much longer than you expect. She has been eating very well at 8am and 6pm. She is treat motivated and so you can correct or get her to do anything with a lil treat. She sleeps in her crate and has been taking naps in her crate after long walks. She will whine a little bit but if you sit with her, she quickly calms down, and then falls asleep where you can then slip away. She is incredibly playful and wants everyone to pet and love her. During walks, she will sit and wait and if they don't she'll just stare at them before you remind her to keep walking. Absolutely perfect pupper 12/10. Mimi is approximately 0y 6m 13d old and is fully grown at 9 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.
