About 7 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Just like the wine she's named for - Moscato is sweet, bubbly and perfect for any occasion! Her stunning bright blue eye, gorgeous merle coat and perfectly speckled nose are what stops people in their tracks, but her personality shines just as bright. Moscato has mastered the art of being balanced - she loves her naps but will make you laugh with reckless abandon when she catches her evening zoomies. Her foster home is a revolving door of pre-teens and she soaks up all the attention she can get from them. She's still learning that her teeth are sharp and that feet/hands/ankles/noses are not, in fact, toys but with consistent reminders she'll get the hang of it soon. She loves actual toys and will collect them all into her bed so she has all the options for appropriate playtime. Her much larger canine foster brother has no interest in her and while she desperately wants to earn his love, she respectfully observes him from outside his self-prescribed bubble. A toasty cuddling sesh is probably her favorite pastime. Give her a lap, or crook of an arm, or a large stuffy and she melts. It's cozy girl season and Moscato is here.for.it. Moscato wine is known for it's bright flavor, gentle sparkle and approachable taste. The puppy version will make any dark day brighter, give sweet little kisses to make you smile, and be the perfect companion for life. Moscato is approximately 0y 1m 26d old and may be 40 to 50 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
Just like the wine she's named for - Moscato is sweet, bubbly and perfect for any occasion!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Moscato has mastered the art of being balanced - she loves her naps but will make you laugh with reckless abandon when she catches her evening…. 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.
