Adopting a Chinook

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

You can adopt a Chinook at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Chinook is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, microchipping, spay/neuter, and vaccines. In contrast, buying a Chinook from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Chinook is through a rescue that specializes in this rare breed. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Chinooks in your search radius.
