Adopting a Norfolk Terrier

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

You can adopt a Norfolk Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Norfolk Terrier is typically $50 to $300, which helps cover the expenses of caring for your new canine BFF before adoption. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, microchipping, spay/neuter, and preventatives. 

In contrast, buying a Norfolk Terrier from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,500 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Norfolk Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in Norfolk Terriers, a small-breed dog rescue, or a shelter. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Norfolk Terriers in your search radius.
