Adopting a Pointer

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Pointer - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Pointer at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Pointer can range from $50 to $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for your new buddy before adoption. This fee typically includes an initial exam, preventatives, heartworm testing and treatment, microchipping, and spay/neuter. In contrast, buying Pointers from breeders can be quite expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $600 to $2,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Pointer is through a rescue that specializes in Pointers. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Pointers in your area.
