The cost to adopt an Australian Cattle Dog puppy is around $300, which helps the rescue or shelter cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Australian Cattle Dogs from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $500 to $1,500, and show-quality or champion bloodline puppies can be priced higher.

The easiest way to adopt an Australian Cattle Dog is through a rescue that specializes in the breed. A great avenue to begin looking is starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Australian Cattle Dogs in your area.
