🌎❤️ Today is International Day of Charity

Sometimes, charity means giving your time, lending a hand, sharing a post, walking a dog, cleaning a kennel, opening your home to a foster, or simply showing up when you’re needed.

At BYC, our animals depend on a community of people who are willing to give a little of themselves to make a big difference in the life of an animal.

🐾 Your time is a donation, too.

Whether you have an hour, a weekend, or a little more to give, there is always a way to make an impact. Visit BecauseYouCare.org/get-involved/volunteer

Cynthia is a sweet pea and makes an easy candidate for adoption! This happy girl enjoys attention and loves making friends.

At 3 years-old, Cynthia is a Wire haired terrier mix. She is laid back with other dogs and would likely be gentle towards cats if given the chance.

Please visit BecauseYouCare.org to learn more about Cynthia and apply for adoption!

BEHIND THE SCENES - URGENT INTAKE
We all know that kittens love to explore and don't always make the best choices. This little one found herself in a bit of a pickle when she decided to try her paw at being a mechanic. Luckily, she was able to be retrieved without injury and one of our volunteers stepped up to foster.
Welcome to rescue, Furrari!
Want to help us continue rescuing kittens like Furrari? Join our foster team! Apply today at https://www.becauseyoucare.org/get-involved/foster

Shy shepherd mix, Nora is waiting for a family of her own! At just 7 months-old, Nora hasn't had the opportunity to experience life yet. She would do best with an adopter who is willing to provide her with guidance and patience during her transition.

We anticipate that Nora can grow up to be around 60 lbs. fully grown. She enjoys being around other dogs but has not had the opportunity to meet any cats yet. We think this sweet girl would thrive with an active owner and some confidence! Applications for adoption visits can be found at www.becauseyoucare.org/pets

We truly couldn’t do it without the generosity of our community. Thank you for showing up for the animals - and we hope to see you on the course again next year! 💚
