About Morticia

Meet Morticia! This playful puppy is around 8 weeks old and weighs about 11 lbs. With a mom said to be a Dalmatian, Morticia exudes a happy spirit, rushing around and playfully wrestling with her brother Gomez. She adores cuddling with her foster family and enjoys her time with toys. Morticia is currently learning the ropes of house and crate training and is making excellent progress. However, potential adopters need to be home during the day to further assist in her training and socialization, ensuring she grows into a confident dog. Morticia is healthy, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and will need to be spayed at six months old. Her immune system won't be fully functional until she reaches 16 weeks, which means she is not suited for apartment or condo living. She’ll need a secure, private yard and should avoid public places like dog parks until she is fully vaccinated. Adoption is open to those 25 and older. The fee is $400, which contributes to her care. A refundable deposit of $100 is required for her spay/neuter. Morticia is waiting for a loving home that will value her playful nature. Every puppy adoption comes with free post-adoption training support, including personal access to certified trainers. This could be the start of something paw-some!
