2023 was a BUSY year for BCSAVE! 99 pups joined our family, including THIRTY-TWO in December alone! 81 found homes, with adopters who came from as far as Alaska and Canada to adopt. We raised over $60,000 and spent $58,000 of it, all directly for the care and rescue of our BCSAVE'rrrs.
2024 is just as busy. In the first eight months of the year, we've rescued 77 pups so far and 69 have found homes with wonderful families. But we had other big news also! we raised enough money to buy our first rescue van, took several trips in it already to drop off and pick up dogs, and even better - WE ARE MERGING WITH ALL BORDER COLLIE RESCUE to more efficiently and effectively save and rescue pups!
And it is only with the help of our generous supporters, fosters, transporters, volunteers and social media sharers that we are able to adopt and help as many as we have.
Rescue is a costly proposition. Of the dogs we save, many are heartworm positive, have major medical issues, suffered from abuse or neglect and/ or had traumatic behavioral problems and have to rehabilitated both physically and/or behaviorally. We work with fantastic veterinarians, trainers and behaviorists all over TX who give us great rates, but as a small non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our donors to ensure we can assist all the dogs in our care. Nearly ALL of our volunteers work full-time jobs so BCSAVE is a labor of love. Weekends, evenings, early mornings - whenever we can squeeze time in to make sure we can help as many dogs as we can.
It takes a village to do what we do, and we have the best village out there. Thank you for taking the time to learn about BCSAVE and share our journey with us!
Border Collie Save and Rescue, Inc. is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable dog rescue dedicated to helping border collies throughout Central and North Texas. Our actions revolve around rescuing, rehabbing, and re-homing border collies. This includes taking in border collies and border collie mixes who are in toxic and/or desperate situations. We place them into foster homes, where we tend to all of their medical needs, spay/neuter them, begin any needed physical and mental rehabilitation, start some basic training, and provide them with a loving & save place to live. Finally, we place them with appropriate and vetted adopters who fully meet the needs of the individual dog.
Our two greatest needs are fosters and funds. Without fosters, we are not able to get dogs into loving temporary homes while they wait for a FURever family. And without funds, we can't provide the medical care and other necessessities our pups need.
We believe there is no place for hate, tolerance, discrimination, or racism.
