Adopting a Halden Hound

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

You can adopt a Halden Hound from a shelter or rescue at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Halden Hound from a shelter is typically $50 to $350, while smaller rescues may charge higher adoption fees. This fee often includes an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying a Halden Hound from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding and size, they can cost $1,000 to $1,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Halden Hound would be through a rescue that specializes in Halden Hounds, Norwegian hounds, or scent hounds in general. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Halden Hounds in your area.
