A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 42 lbs.
Hi! I'm Rocky! I just moved to NYC, but I already LOVE it! So many people to meet and smells to sniff out! Something happened, and I recently lost my leg, but I barely notice it's gone! I love going on walks, romping around with my foster brother, and snoozing. I love everyone I meet (dogs, big humans, small humans), and I'm looking for someone who enjoys long walks and snuggles. Apparently I'm pretty easygoing! Rocky is approximately 4y 1m 7d old and is fully grown at 42 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
Apparently I'm pretty easygoing!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Many people to meet and smells to sniff out!. 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.
