A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 22 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Hi, I'm Sheriff. I'm good at exactly two things: playing and sleeping. If someone's willing to play with me, I'll keep going until I fall over. If nobody is, I'll find a warm patch of sun and nap — which, honestly, is most of my day. I'm also a little clingy. When you're home, I'll probably be wherever I can see you. You don't have to hold me. I just like knowing you're there. If you'd rather not be alone either, I think we'll get along. Sheriff is approximately 0y 4m 10d old and may be 55 to 65 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
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
If you'd rather not be alone either, I think we'll get along. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
