Elaine is a gentle, sweet dog who’s ready to find her forever home after being rescued off the streets of Tennessee. A little shy at first, she warms up quickly with patience, love, and treats. Elaine will thrive in a calm, caring home where she can grow, play, and learn to be the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!

🧠 Temperament
Elaine is a gentle, sweet dog who’s ready to find her forever home after being rescued off the streets of Tennessee. 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
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ 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.
