TRAVEL INFORMATION Due to limited volunteer capacity, BCSAVE gives priority to applicants who are local to the dog being adopted and to those who are willing to travel to meet and adopt a dog in the location they are being fostered. For those applicants unable to travel to Texas, it may take longer than 3 weeks to contact you for an initial interview.
What transportation options are you considering? All travel expenses are the responsibility of the adopter.
Travel to TX to Adopt Tell us what kind of lead time you will need to come to Texas, or if you already have any pre-planned travel to Texas.
Dog Transport Service All travel expenses and arrangements are the responsibility of the adopter. Third party transports from Texas to most parts of the USA start around $200-$300. There may also be additional veterinarian fees required to cover the costs of getting a health certificate and additional vaccinations required by the receiving state which are not standard in Texas.
Other Transportation Method Tell us how you plan to transport the dog from Texas to your home state.
