A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Scooby is a loving very nice brindle boy. Was a bit scared at first and a bit apprehensive but quickly acclimated to him after settling in a cozy bed. Not so food motivated. He's mature but has cute puppy tendencies. He loves to get snuggly and is a sound sleeper. He runs good - 2 miles no problem. One accident inside but luckily after shower but he is considerate and mostly goes to the bathroom outside although it's not certain if he's fully potty trained or just a smart boy. Scooby is approximately 1y 0m 7d old and is fully grown at 40 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

🎾 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.
