Adopting a Pekingese

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

You can adopt a Pekingese at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Pekingese is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Pekingese from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Pekingese would be through a rescue that specializes in Pekingeses. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Pekingese in your area.
