Adopting a Tosa Inu

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

You can adopt a Tosa Inu at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Tosa Inu is typically $50 to $300, but can be much higher if you need to adopt internationally. The adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying a Tosa Inu from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,700 to $2,500.

Tosa Inu fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Tosa Inu almost disappeared after World War II, and was only saved because there had already been so many exports of the breed to nearby Taiwan and Korea.

The Tosa Inu is very rare in both their native Japan and in the United States.

The Tosa Inu has sadly been used in dog fighting since their inception. Their natural tendencies toward extreme wariness of strangers has been sadly misused. Due to mistreatment by humans, they are banned in several countries, including the United Kingdom.
