A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 26 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
This is Spot, an adorably handsome young man with a beautiful deep brown coloring who loves giving kisses and getting belly rubs. He’s a rescue from KY + new to the city so is a bit apprehensive but yet very curious about ALL sounds, smells, humans and animals he has been encountering since his arrival. Spot is approximately 0y 10m 13d old and may be 27 to 33 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
He’s a rescue from KY + new to the city so is a bit apprehensive but yet very curious about ALL sounds, smells, humans and animals he has been…. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
