Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $685. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: approx. 2 years, 6 months (as of 2/21/26) Weight: approx. 14 pounds (as of 2/21/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet the marvelous Morticia, a Chihuahua Dachshund mix! This little beauty is mostly black with a tan face, tan arms and a white chest. We just adore her fluffy tail and sweet smile! Morticia is related to Pugsley and Gomez, who is currently available for adoption. She is the proud mama of three adorable puppies named Bubbie, Ready Freddie and Trembles. Morticia was surrendered this past fall, along with Gomez and Pugsley, and then gave birth to her three puppies in the safety and comfort of foster care. Now that her motherly duties are done, she is ready to find a home where she can rest and have a bit of fun. She is mostly tolerant of and playful with other dogs—she will roughhouse a bit, play chase, and chew on her squeaky toy before it’s time to decompress. After play time, she’ll quickly settle into your lap for cuddles on the couch. She is currently working on house training and does well in the crate. Because Morticia has been through so many transitions (family life, puppies, foster care) she is looking for a relatively calm, low-traffic household. While she was previously raised with children, she currently finds busy environments overwhelming. For now, we believe she’d be most comfortable in a home without small children. While initially shy with new people, she’ll warm up to you within the same day once she knows you're not creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky. She is very smart, affectionate and playful. She hopes to find a patient family who will let her approach at her own pace and show her true colors. It’s absolutely scary how cute Morticia Adams is! Will you give her the loving home she deserves? Let her know you’re interested in meeting by filling out an application today! Backstory: Morticia was surrendered, along with Gomez and Pugsley Adams, by a family who unfortunately needed to relocate due to health issues. She gave birth in foster care to three sweet puppies who are also looking for their fur-ever homes. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
