Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

THE BEGINNING
Because You Care, Inc. was founded in 1981 for the sole purpose of abolishing the decompression chambers, as a means of euthanasia, found throughout Pennsylvania. With the passage of House Bill 350 in December of 1983, this goal was accomplished. Since then, only death by lethal injection or water cooled gas chamber is allowed in Pennsylvania.
THE PRESENT
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.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
