Meet Payton! This sweet girl deserves to know just how beautiful life can be. Found in Georgia with a collar painfully embedded under her leg, Payton was suffering from a deep, painful wound. With the shelter unable to provide the medical care she desperately needed, her future was uncertain. That’s when NYC Second Chance Rescue stepped in to give her a chance. Now, Payton is hoping for a forever family who will show her what it means to be safe, cherished, and loved. She has been through enough, and it's time for her to experience the kindness she always deserved. Please consider adopting Payton and giving this deserving girl her happily ever after!

🧠 Temperament
This sweet girl deserves to know just how beautiful life can be. 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.
