Since 1985, Because You Care, Inc. has dedicated all efforts towards rescuing stray dogs and cats. These orphans, considered disposable items, are half starved, frightened, sometimes abused and often ill. They are trying to survive in an uncaring world.
Our volunteer organization rescues strays and abandoned pets in Erie, PA and surrounding areas. All of our pets receive necessary veterinary care, including vaccinations and are spayed or neutered at our expense at the appropriate age. Pets are kept in volunteer foster homes, not in a shelter, with all expenses paid by BYC until they are adopted into new homes. All potential families are screened and interviewed. We try to match the personality of the pet to the characteristics of the adoptive family. We also check to be sure that all pets in the home are spayed or neutered and have current shots.
The prospective home is visited and if it seems a good match, the pet is placed and the family signs an agreement to keep the pet indoors, maintain his/her vaccinations and provide a good home. Pets are visited after placement and representatives maintain contact to deal with any questions or problems that may arise.
We ask a donation of $50.00 for our cats and $65.00 for dogs. While this in no way reimburses us for the total cost of care, it does help offset some costs.
