🧠 Temperament
This affectionate boy was surrendered through no fault of his own when his family went through a divorce, and he’s ready to start a brand-new chapter…. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
He’s friendly with other dogs, always up for a romp in the yard or a leisurely walk with new friends. Depends on the individual.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
