Adopting a Hovawart

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

You can adopt a Hovawart at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Hovawart is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption.

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