Because We Care Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit, no kill, foster and home based rescue organization located at the home of its Founder in Burlington WA. We are run entirely by volunteers and funded solely by donations and adoption fees. We focus a great deal of our time and energy on orphaned young pups, litters of puppies, and nursing/pregnant Mamas dogs however we do not have set “standards” on what dogs or other animals receive our help. We dedicate many hours each week to provide care for the animals in our rescue as well as using our network and resources to rescue more animals from many circumstances such as high intake shelters euthanizing healthy animals for space, other 501c3 rescues who are struggling with high intakes and low adoptions, as well as helping individuals rescue from the streets of areas with large populations of strays or dumped pets.

 

Our goal is to place rescued animals in loving committed forever homes after a comprehensive adoption process that focuses on finding good matches and making sure our adopters understand the responsibilities and costs incurred through the lifetime of an animal in their family.

 

All animals in our care are spayed/neutered or under contract with their adopters requiring it done in a certain time frame. We ensure all appropriate veterinary care and treatment for every animal before we send them to forever homes. We are NOT breed specific nor size specific we do our best to offer aid to all different shapes/sizes and health condition of cats/kittens and dogs/puppies in need.

 

Our rescue has a lifetime commitment to all the rescued pets we adopt out and require they be returned to us should at any point in their lifetime their adopting family can no longer care for them. We happily offer our adopters any further support needed to ensure their new family member is the right fit.

 

Finally our hope is to do our part to build a strong community of supporters, volunteers and fosters that value, respect, and treat animals as a part of their family so that this message and life style continues to be spread far and wide. So that some day perhaps there will be no more homeless or abandoned animals in need of rescue.
