A NYC estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
About 4 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Winston looks like a tiny little old man in a 4-pound puppy body, and it's one of the first things people notice about him. Someone told me he looks like Albert Einstein, and now I can't unsee it. But don't let his scruffy little face fool you-he's still very much a puppy. He loves wrestling with his brother, chasing toys around the apartment, and chewing on his favorite chew sticks. Unlike his brother, though, Winston is a little more laid back. Once he's gotten his playtime in, he's perfectly happy curling up next to his people for a nap or rolling onto his back for a belly rub. Winston came from the ACC with his mom and brother, Alfie, and now he's ready to find a family of his own. Winston has a gentle heart and an easygoing personality. He enjoys playing just as much as any puppy, but he's just as content relaxing by your side and soaking up all the love and attention you'll give him. Winston is approximately 0y 2m 8d old and may be 22 to 26 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
Winston has a gentle heart and an easygoing personality. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Once he's gotten his playtime in, he's perfectly happy curling up next to his people for a nap or rolling onto his back for a belly rub. 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 loves wrestling with his brother, chasing toys around the apartment, and chewing on his favorite chew sticks. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
