Adopting a Anatolian Shepherd

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

You can adopt an Anatolian Shepherd at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt an Anatolian Shepherd can range from $50 to $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for your new buddy before adoption. This fee typically includes a basic exam, vaccines, spay/neuter, microchipping, preventatives, and heartworm testing and treatment. In contrast, buying Anatolian Shepherds from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding and if they are imported, they may cost $800 to $5,000.

The easiest way to adopt an Anatolian Shepherd is through a rescue that specializes in Anatolian Shepherds. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Anatolian Shepherds in your area.

Anatolian Shepherd fun facts

Fun Facts:

Traditionally, the Anatolian Shepherd was raised alongside the flock of goats or sheep. This early socialization into the flock makes Anatolian Shepherds naturally protective of the animals, encouraging their guard instincts when predators come into play.

The Anatolian Shepherd hails from Turkey, and is one of their prized shepherd/guardian combination breeds. The exact origins of the Anatolian Shepherd are unknown, though the breed is believed to go back at least 3,000 years

Anatolian Shepherds are relatively new to America -- they weren't brought Stateside until 1968.
