BPCA Rehome Adoption Questionnaire Form

Giving a Berger Picard a second chance

It is not common to see a Berger Picard. Even less so to find one in need of a forever home. Occasionally however, there are circumstances where there is such a need for one of these remarkable dogs. Each dog and situation is different. We are committed to making sure every dog for will be best matched with his/her forever home that fits the specific needs of that dog. You can help us make this process easier by answering honestly and completely the following questionnaire. Please do not hesitate to share any detail that might help everyone involved. There is no guarantee that we will be able to find a match. If there is a dog that we feel would be a good match based on the dog's information and yours we will contact you. We are here to help guide, support. and educate owners, potential adopters, and admirers of this wonderful breed. We also work hard to educate ourselves so that we can confidently place these wonderful dogs in the best homes possible for a happy and harmonious outcome. Post-adoption, we are available to help the owner and dog adjust to their new life together. Please note: It is important to list a phone number you can be reached at.
