MORRIS *ARRIVING 8/22* - CHIHUAHUA / DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Morris is an absolutely adorable little pup whose floppy ears bounce up and down as he runs and plays—just like a character from a cartoon! Small, quiet, and full of love, Morris has a sweet nature that will melt your heart. His story is a tough one. Morris was found abandoned in a dirty wire kennel on the side of the road, left out in the scorching Texas sun with no water. Despite that heartbreaking start, he’s full of life and joy. Like all puppies, Morris eats, sleeps, plays, and, yes—makes messes. He’ll need someone with patience, kindness, and a true love for dogs, someone who will stick with him not just while he’s an irresistible puppy, but as he grows into a wonderful adult dog. Right now, Morris mostly barks when he’s playing or when the other dogs start up. Watching him play and seeing those floppy ears fly will absolutely make you smile. He’s ready for a forever home with someone who can give him the love, care, and stability every dog deserves! Morris is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 08/22/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
