Mongrels are not a purebred and will cost significantly less than purchasing a dog from a breeder. The price to adopt a Mongrel from a shelter or rescue organization is generally around $250 or less.
You will also want to budget enough money to cover the rest of the care and food your mongrel will need after you adopt him or her. The first year you own the mongrel will likely be the most expensive, and you’ll want to budget between $1,000 and $1,500 to cover all the expenses. The following years should be less expensive, but still, be sure to budget between $500 and $1,000 to make sure you can cover everything your mutt needs.
