BCSAVE pays for all foster dog veterinary care and medications. Fosters are required to shoulder expenses only for food and transportation. (NOTE: BCSAVE may receive donations of dog food and will make an effort to provide fosters with food whenever possible, but we make no guarantees.)

OWNER SURRENDER QUESTIONNAIRE
Be aware that BCSAVE stays extremely full and we might not be able to find an appropriate foster home for your dog. In order to determine if BCSAVE is the right rescue for a dog, and if we have an appropriate available foster, we have the owner fill out this Owner Surrender Questionnaire in order to help us see if and how we can assist. If we determine that a dog is a good fit for BCSAVE, and we can find a suitable foster, we may also require an in person assessment of the dog before we will commit to bringing them into BCSAVE.

- If you have any issues attaching photos to this form, you can also send them to us by attaching the photo to a reply of the confirmation you will get after submitting the Owner Surrender Questionnaire.
- We often have a waiting list of fully vetted adoption applicants who are waiting for very specific types of dogs (it can be age, sex, “look”, color, size, herdy, high toy drive, couch potato, and just about anything else you can think of). We can see if any of them match up to your dogs, put them in touch with you directly, and help process the adoption.
- We can reach out to other rescues we partner with and provide them with the pictures and questionnaire to see if they can help.

The Border Collie “Eye”, also called the “Stare”, is a breed characteristic of the Border Collie used to help it maintain order over a flock of sheep. Border Collies would use this intense, strong-eyed stare to help exhibit dominance and unnerve sheep who try and leave the flock or challenge the dog’s authority. This often allowed the Border Collie to get the sheep back in line quickly and without any further escalation.
It was a highly sought after ability which was bred into working Border Collies by shepherds, and one which persists in much of the breed to this day.
