Ready for your new favorite sidekick? Meet Yoshi! Yoshi truly lives up to his name. Just like the lovable dinosaur who never leaves Mario’s side, our Yoshi is as friendly, loyal, and cheerful as they come! Yoshi greets everyone he meets—big or small—with a happy grin and his tongue out, ready to make a new best friend. As a young puppy, he is remarkably balanced: he plays wonderfully on his own, though his bubbly personality makes it nearly impossible not to join in the fun! More than anything, Yoshi is looking for his forever family. He will happily follow you from room to room just to stay close, always ready for playtime or to curl up for belly rubs and cuddles. Everyone who meets him falls head over heels, constantly raving about what a sweet, good boy he is. Yoshi is approximately 0y 3m 5d old and may be 48 to 58 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
Just like the lovable dinosaur who never leaves Mario’s side, our Yoshi is as friendly, loyal, and cheerful as they come!. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
He will happily follow you from room to room just to stay close, always ready for playtime or to curl up for belly rubs and cuddles. 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.
