A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Sage is an incredibly sweet, loving little girl! She loves to snuggle, likes to give you a hug with her paws, lots of kisses and will nuzzle you to let you know she's enjoying the bonding time. She is very outgoing, great with adults and kids, loves being part of the action. She is super playful but is also fine sleeping in her crate. She walks outside no problem and is not phased by the loud sounds of NYC (sirens, garbage trucks) nor the scary sights of strollers, suitcases, and light up sneakers. She takes it all in stride, wagging her tail as we go. Sage is approximately 1y 0m 14d 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.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Sage is an incredibly sweet, loving little girl!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She walks outside no problem and is not phased by the loud sounds of NYC (sirens, garbage trucks) nor the scary sights of strollers, suitcases, and…. 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 super playful but is also fine sleeping in her crate. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
