You can adopt a Pumi at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Pumi from a shelter or rescue is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, microchipping, spay/neuter, vaccines, and preventatives. In contrast, buying a  Pumi from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,500 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Pumi is through a rescue that specializes in Pumis or herding breeds in general. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Pumis in your search radius.
