You can adopt an Icelandic Sheepdog at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting an Icelandic Sheepdog from a shelter is typically $50 to $300, while smaller rescues may charge higher fees. This adoption fee often includes a basic exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying an Icelandic Sheepdog from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $2,000.

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