How much does adopting a dog cost?

Answer 1

It depends on what kind of animal it is. Even then it will still be pretty expensive. If you adopt from a private party the animal might be free. If you adopt from a shelter they typically need to charge a adoption fee to help cover their cost for spaying or neutering, shots etc. Shelter fees can run from $50.00 to around $125.00 depending on your location.

Answer 2

It really depends on the type of dog and where you get it. At a shelter they tend to be more expensive but they have all their shots. But at the store they are cheaper and have not gotten all shots so it makes up the difference. I got my dog from a breeder and he is a pure breed Schnauzer. He cost 250 dollars but he had hook worms and to get them out we made up the price of other breeders or shelters.

Answer 3

The cost for pet adoption will depend on where you adopt a pet from. Some institutions (animal shelters, vet offices, ect) will offer free adoption services, not including vet bills or immunizations.

Answer 4

if its a new born thern in the thousands but if its a 6 weeks or higher its probaly 6 hundred

Answer:Every animal shelter sets its own fees, so you would need to contact the shelter you're interested in adopting from to find out what they charge. Most public animal shelters in the U.S. charge about $50. (With all due respect, the answer above is outlandish; adoption fees from such shelters are never hundreds or thousands of dollars.)

Answer 5

Most dog shelters charge 30.00 to 50.00 dollars to adopt. This includes shots and tags. Some also give a discount coupon so you can get the dog fixed if it isn't all ready.

Answer 6

Anywhere from $50-200
