A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 71 lbs.
Nova is a very sweet girl with a big heart. She can be a little shy at first, but as she gets comfortable, you can really see how much love she has to give. I think she’ll form a very strong bond with her new person and become an incredibly loyal companion. She’s also really, really smart — she understands most of what you tell her and picks things up very quickly. She does have a little stubborn streak, which is part of her personality and charm! Nova is a sensitive, intelligent dog who just needs someone willing to give her the time and reassurance to come out of her shell. Nova is approximately 5y 0m 12d old and is fully grown at 71 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 can be a little shy at first, but as she gets comfortable, you can really see how much love she has to give. 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.
