About 6 lbs now and still growing — this breed usually reaches 30–45 lbs.
Hi! I'm Zinfandel and I'm your pint-sized bundle of joy, with a heart ten times bigger than my little paws! I may be small, but I have plenty of personality packed into this tiny body. I'm curious about everything and love making new friends. I believe that cuddles, playtime and cozy naps are some fo life's greatest pleasures! I'm still learning about the big world around me, so I'll need a little patience, lost of love and someone willing to show me the ropes. I'm happieset when I'm close to my people, getting belly rubs or finding the perfect lap to curl up in. Zinfandel is approximately 0y 1m 28d old and may be 40 to 50 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
I may be small, but I have plenty of personality packed into this tiny body. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
I believe that cuddles, playtime and cozy naps are some fo life's greatest pleasures!. 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.
