The cost of adopting a Caucasian Shepherd Dog through a shelter or rescue is much lower than buying one from a breeder. The average adoption fee is about $50 to $300. This fee typically includes an initial exam, microchipping, preventatives, spay/neuter, and vaccines. 

Buying a Caucasian Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder, on the other hand, can be prohibitively expensive, depending on their lineage and fur color. The average price of a Caucasian Shepherd Dog from a breeder is $1,500 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Caucasian Shepherd Dog is to search for breed-specific or giant breed rescues. You can use the breed search function on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Caucasian Shepherd Dogs in your search radius.
