No. The Kangal is not one of the five banned types (Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and XL Bully). The law goes by looks, though: whether a dog is banned "depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name" (gov.uk), so a dog of any label with the characteristics of a banned type is treated as one. Rescues assess this before rehoming, and we never list a banned type.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Kangals on this page are with Homeless Hounds (1) and Northumberland Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 2 Kangals 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 Kangals 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: 1 listing of the 2 Kangals in the UK names a cross or mix in the rescue's breed label, such as Kangal Shepherd 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 Kangal 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 "kangal puppies for sale", the Kangals 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 Kangal 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.

Not right now: none of the 2 listed in the UK is aged 7 or over by its listed age. Older Kangals do come into rescue, so check back. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
