The cost of adopting a Morkie through a shelter is much lower than buying one from a breeder. The average rescue adoption fee for a Morkie is around $300, which covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. Buying a Maltipoo puppy from a reputable breeder can be very expensive, depending on their lineage and fur color. The average price of a Morkie from an ethical breeder is $1,000 to $3,000. Of course, please make the effort to adopt. If you are set on a certain breed, please also consider breed-specific rescues.
