A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 14 lbs.
Hi, I’m Tink. I’m a tiny, affectionate sweetheart with a curious little spark that comes out as soon as I feel safe. I’m still learning the world — some things are new, some things make me pause — but I adapt quickly. New places, new routines, new adventures… I take them all in gently, and before you know it, I’m moving through them like I’ve been there forever. I’m playful and cuddly, the kind of girl who lights up when my people give me attention. I love leaning in close, soaking up affection, and trotting around to see what you’re up to. But when you’re busy, I’m perfectly content doing my own thing — playing with my toys, curling up for a nap, or just quietly watching life go by. I don’t need constant entertainment; I just like knowing you’re near. I don’t ask for much: a safe place, kind humans, and the chance to keep discovering life one small, brave step at a time. I’m easy, sweet, and quietly charming — a little dog who’s ready to blossom in a home of my own. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a soft heart, a playful streak, and a curious soul, I’d really love to meet you. 💛 Tink is approximately 3y 0m 8d old and is fully grown at 14 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
I’m a tiny, affectionate sweetheart with a curious little spark that comes out as soon as I feel safe. 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.
