A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Princess Leia is a funny, silly, stretchy, expressive, cuddle bug of a pup! She is shy at first, but has a big personality! In the couple of days I've had her, she's made so much progress and can now add to her resume that she can 1. go down stairs without fear, 2. have fun outside, 3. sleep in the crate all night, and 4. play by herself. Some of her favorite things include cuddling up to a good rom-com, getting belly scratches while doing good stretches, and being super duper playful! Once she gets past a few minutes of shyness, she loves everyone and is extremely lovable in return! Princess Leia is approximately 1y 0m 15d old and is fully grown at 31 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 is shy at first, but has a big personality!. 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.
