A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.

Orion is friendliest little cuddle buddy! He LOVES pets maybe even more than food. People constantly stop us on walks to take pictures of his beautiful face and eyes as he melts into any pets they give him! Orion is happiest when cuddled up to his people and will shadow you around the house to stay close, even lying at your feet while you cook in case you need his help. He walks pretty well on a loose leash, as long as he can stop and watch any person, dog or car going by. He seems to be already house trained and sleeps quietly in his crate all night! Orion is approximately 1y 0m 15d old and is fully grown at 30 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.

Mixed / Unknown breed

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

People constantly stop us on walks to take pictures of his beautiful face and eyes as he melts into any pets they give him!. 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 walks pretty well on a loose leash, as long as he can stop and watch any person, dog or car going by. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
