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.
Patrick is a sweet, sensitive little guy learning that the world isn’t quite so scary after all! Found as a stray and brought to the NYC ACC, this stocky little gentleman is slowly coming out of his shell and letting his goofy, playful puppy personality shine. He’s a little derpy, a little shy, and a whole lot of lovable. As he continues to grow, we have a feeling Patrick might just be a certified short king! Patrick is still building his confidence, but with a little patience, lots of love, and a family who will let him blossom at his own pace, we know there are so many happy adventures ahead. He’s got the charm, he’s got the looks, and he’s got the potential to be someone’s very best friend. Could you be the one to show this sweet boy just how wonderful life can be? Patrick is approximately 0y 5m 12d old and is fully grown at 27 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
Found as a stray and brought to the NYC ACC, this stocky little gentleman is slowly coming out of his shell and letting his goofy, playful puppy…. 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.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Patrick is still building his confidence, but with a little patience, lots of love, and a family who will let him blossom at his own pace, we know…. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
