You can adopt a Feist at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. Adopting a Feist can cost $50 to $300, which covers the expenses of caring for your new canine pal before adoption. This adoption fee typically includes a basic exam, microchipping, spay/neuter, parasite preventatives and treatment, and vaccines. 

In contrast, buying a Feist from a breeder can be expensive. Depending on their lineage and whether or not they’re a registered Feist breed with the UKC or CKC, they can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000, and you miss out on the meaningful experience of saving a shelter pup.

The easiest way to adopt a Feist is through searching rescues and shelters throughout the southern U.S. and southeast Appalachian region. You can use the breed search feature on Adopt a Pet to look for available Feists in your area.
