Pets for Adoption at Because You Care

Our Vision: Because You Care is a leader in cat and dog rescue and adoption. 
We are committed to the safety and well-being of animals while they are in our care and throughout their lifetimes.

Adoption Fees

All fees include the spay/neuter of the animal (regardless of age), age appropriate vaccines, microchip, FeLV/FIV test for cats, heartworm and tick borne disease testing for dogs.

BYC will occasionally have a pet with adjusted adoption fees due to various reasons. In those cases, the adoption fee will be included in that pet's description. Otherwise, the below adoption fees apply.

Filling out an application does not guarantee any adoption.  Adoptions are not a first come / first serve basis.  Animals are placed with applicants that are a good fit for that particular dog or cat.  Once an application is submitted for a dog or cat there may be a short waiting period while we process your application.
