A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Fully grown at about 38 lbs.
Meet Vega! She's a calm three-year old, who loves to walk and explore the neighborhood. She's house-trained, loves hanging in silence, and likes laying by her foster parent during the day (and going on constant walks!) She's taken no time to adapt to a new environment: day two she was already asking for belly rubs. She's independent, reserved and very very very well behaved! Vega is approximately 3y 0m 20d old and is fully grown at 38 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
She's a calm three-year old, who loves to walk and explore the neighborhood. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
She's house-trained, loves hanging in silence, and likes laying by her foster parent during the day (and going on constant walks!) She's taken no…. 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
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.
