Christine is that volunteer who will cover all the bases! She works the hard shifts and she helps with events. Most of all, she fosters dogs who need her support!

The care, stability, and compassion provided by foster families can truly change a dog's future. Jake is so grateful for the guidance that Christine provides him until his forever family comes to the rescue!

Their stay is temporary but your impact lasts forever ♥️ 🐾 Visit www.becauseyoucare.org/get-involved/foster to learn more about our program and apply to contact a staff member!

It’s very rare that the longest residents at the adoption centers are puppies! Unfortunately Jake and Charles have spent their entire short lives waiting for families of their own!

We think this has made them even BETTER companion candidates. They are both playful and smart. They will play fetch or walk politely on a leash. And both dogs enjoy making new four legged friends in our social playgroups!

Once these 7 month old, mixed breed dogs are done growing, we do expect them to be close to 75lbs. If you have room in your heart and home, please visit www.becauseyoucare.org/pets to schedule a visit!

Because You Care wishes to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the volunteer team from Erie Insurance lead by our very own volunteer @.a.cole. The team helped to beautify your property doing some much needed weeding and mulching.

Larry is a 6-month-old, Spaniel mix with lots of love to give his future family! He is gaining experience in foster care but will need some additional training. While we don't know much about Larry's past, our vet clinic believes he will remain between 40-50 lbs. fully grown.

Larry has been observed as friendly with other dogs and small children! He is gaining confidence on the leash and is considered an active dog that will require at least 60 minutes of exercise daily. Applications for Larry can be found at www.becauseyoucare.org/pets

Maddie may be one of our champion hiders when playing hide and seek but she is also one of the sweetest most affectionate cats around. She loves to give a hug and really wants to bond with her person. She also gets along well with other cats.
To adopt Maddie, or any of our other cats, just head to becauseyoucare.org and apply.

Understandably Repo is the kind of guy who needs time to adjust. At 10 years old, it can be hard to dive into new environments.

In the months since he came into our custody (due to no fault of his own) he has learned how to adjust to the nuance of shelter life. Repo is a Chihuahua mix under 20 lbs. He loves to take leash walks or sunbathe in the yard! He doesn’t mind other dogs and even has experience with cats!

Due to his age, Repo needs an adult-only home that respects his space. He prefers to give affection on his own terms but when he gives it, you’ll feel like you won the lottery! Applications for Repo can be found at www.becauseyoucare.org/pets
