If you're looking for a dog who wants to be your best friend, meet Vivi. She's happiest just being with her human. Second to that is saying hi to every person she sees on the street. She wiggles her entire body when she's happy! She loves walking and going outside and is very curious about everything she sees. Vivi is 2.5 yrs old so she still has some puppy behaviours. She is learning that the birds are her friends tho I can tell she really wants to fly like them. She will get the zoomies every so often and loves to run around and then will settle next to you on the couch & fall asleep. It's so sweet to watch her crinkle her forehead when she sees something and you can tell she's processing it. Since she's only 2.5, Vivi could use some basic training but she's quickly learned to sit and stay while I put down her water and food bowls and we're working on leash behaviors. Everyone in my building loves her and everyone on our walks thinks so she's so sweet. She will be your very best friend & go on adventures with you or snuggle with you on the couch. Vivi is approximately 2y 7m 1d old and is fully grown at 66.8 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.

Mixed / Unknown breed

This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.

🧠 Temperament

It's so sweet to watch her crinkle her forehead when she sees something and you can tell she's processing it. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.

🎾 Exercise

She will get the zoomies every so often and loves to run around and then will settle next to you on the couch & fall asleep. 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

Second to that is saying hi to every person she sees on the street. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.

Adoption fee $525
