About Margaret Alford Addams

Meet Margaret Alford Addams and The Addams Family Litter! Margaret is a lively 5-month-old Doberman/German Shepherd mix with a playful personality and a knack for bringing joy wherever she goes. One of ten siblings from an accidental litter, her journey has had its ups and downs. After being rescued from a family that took in a pregnant dog, a bout with parvovirus hit the whole litter. Thankfully, all ten puppies fought it off and are now thriving and ready for adoption. As the tiniest pup, Margaret is a definite cuddle bug, exuding sweetness and gentleness. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and may adapt well with dog-friendly cats. Although she hasn't had much exposure to children yet, we believe she'd fit right in with a loving family environment. Expect her to reach a healthy weight of around 50 to 60 pounds when she's fully grown. Her adoption fee, while waived, covers essential vet services like the rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccines, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
