Adopting a Saluki

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

You can adopt a Saluki at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Saluki from a rescue or shelter is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. In contrast, buying a Saluki from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $3,000.

Since they are a rare breed, the easiest way to adopt a Saluki is through a rescue that specializes in Salukis. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Salukis in your search radius.

Saluki fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Saluki is one of the oldest recognizable breeds of dogs, dating back 6,000 years ago to Mesopotamia!

For centuries, the Saluki was revered as a status animal in the Middle East, and they were never sold but rather given as quite revered gifts.

When Tutankhamun's tomb was opened in 1922, there were several clear illustrations of the Saluki along with him (King Tut loved to hunt). The popularity of the Saluki breed subsequently skyrocketed.
