You can adopt a Coton de Tulear at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Coton de Tulear from a shelter or rescue can cost $50 to $300 and typically covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, vaccines, preventatives, and a microchip. In contrast, buying a Coton de Tulear from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost $2,000 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Coton de Tulear is through a rescue that specializes in Coton de Tulears. A great place to start is via a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the Coton de Tulears available in your area.
