You can adopt an Akbash at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting an Akbash is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, vaccines, preventatives, and microchipping. In contrast, buying an Akbash from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $800 to $2,500.

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