Rawr! Flora is just about the cutest little lion we have ever seen. She's not been feeling quite her best lately but that didn't stop her from joining in the Halloween fun. She hopes to be back on the prowl for her forever home soon.

🧙‍♂️🔮 You shall not pass… without submitting an adoption application!

With eyes that can see into your soul and the wisdom of a thousand lifetimes, we're convinced Coop is actually an ancient sorcerer disguised as a dog.

Wizard or not, Coop needs a family! He’s barely 5 months old and all we can do is guess his breeds. His body type is definitely more Hound shaped but those eyes are seriously captivating. We do think Coop will continue to grow between 40-50 lbs. as an adult dog.

Please visit BecauseYouCare.org/pets to learn more about adoptable dogs like Coop!

For obvious reasons, Kami is a VERY good listener. She’s loyal and attentive! She is sure to make her future family very proud.

At 5 months-old, Kami is a young pointer mix. She is still learning but has some great qualities for her age. Kami is crate trained and gaining experience with leash walks. She would benefit from an active lifestyle where she gets to exercise and explore!

Kami is patiently waiting in foster care, where she has proven to be kind to other animals. Visit BecauseYouCare.org/pets to apply for a meet & greet 🐾

Reigning champ of isn’t celebrating her title. In fact, the only milestone that is important to Maybelline is her long stay at our adoption center. After all, she’s our longest staying resident at BYC.

Most people who meet Maybelline cannot believe she has special needs. She jumps with joy to make new friends! This Corgi mix just prefers a calm environment and a consistent routine.

If you can provide a sweet 2 year-old dog with the life she deserves, please visit our website at BecauseYouCare.org or email inquiries to [email protected]
