Meet Prosecco! This adorable little lady is just a baby, and yes, she IS as cute as she looks. Prosecco is a bundle of joy and she literally never stops making us smile. She loves her people, her foster siblings, her toys, treats, and food. She is great about going outside in her little sling watching the world go by. She is also a genius - learning "sit" at just 6 weeks old. She is working on her pee pad training as she can't go on walks outside yet. She is good at being in her pen, and being left alone for an hour or so in there. She gets up usually once overnight for a potty break but we are working on getting her to last longer and longer each night. She will make the perfect addition to any family! Prosecco is approximately 0y 1m 25d old and may be 52 to 62 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
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
She is working on her pee pad training as she can't go on walks outside yet. 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
She is good at being in her pen, and being left alone for an hour or so in there. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
