It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 2 Dalmatians listed in the UK today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. None of the 2 Dalmatians listed in the UK is marked by its rescue as able to live with cats today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue.

Yes: 2 listings of the 2 Dalmatians in the UK name a cross or mix in the rescue's breed label, such as Collie/Dalmatian Cross (1) and Dalmatian Cross (1). Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess, so read each profile.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Dalmatian on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "dalmatian puppies for sale", the Dalmatians here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every Dalmatian on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the dog's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Not right now: none of the 2 listed in the UK is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.

Yes: 1 of the 2 listed in the UK is aged 7 or over by their listed age. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
