You can adopt an Australian Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt an Australian Terrier is typically $50 to $300, which covers the expenses of caring for your new buddy before adoption. The adoption fee usually includes an initial medical exam, parasite prevention and treatment, spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccines.

In contrast, buying Australian Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $1,800.

The easiest way to adopt an Australian Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in Australian Terriers or a small-breed rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Australian Terriers in your area.
