A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 42 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Hi, I’m Teyla! I’m a sweet little girl with a curious nose and a gentle heart. The world can feel a little overwhelming sometimes, so I may be shy or nervous at first, but I’m friendly with both people and other dogs. I love staying close to my humans and being part of whatever they’re doing. I’m a good listener, and I’m also happy to quietly entertain myself with my toys. Treats always make my day, and some of my favorite moments are spent stretching out on warm grass and soaking up the sunshine. I’m looking for a loving home where I can settle in at my own pace, feel safe, and share all the affection I have to give. Teyla is approximately 0y 10m 6d old and may be 45 to 55 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
The world can feel a little overwhelming sometimes, so I may be shy or nervous at first, but I’m friendly with both people and other dogs. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 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.
