What are the hours of Because You Care?

No opening hours are on record. Call at (814) 476-1212 or check its website before visiting; many shelters keep separate hours for adoptions, intake and lost-pet searches.

How do I adopt from Because You Care?

Rescues often place animals from foster homes, so meetings are by appointment.

Can I surrender a pet to Because You Care?

Call the shelter before you bring an animal in. Many shelters and most rescues take owner surrenders by appointment only, some charge a surrender fee, and some keep a waiting list. Ask whether they offer a rehoming program or pet food and vet assistance first; many surrenders can be avoided with short-term help. The municipal animal control shelter is usually required to accept animals from residents of its city or county.

Because You Care matches an IRS record for a tax-exempt animal welfare organization (EIN 25-1431378), with reported annual revenue of about $699,073. Donations to 501(c)(3) charities are usually tax-deductible; ask the organization for a receipt. Many shelters also post a wish list of supplies they need.
