Our Mission
Because We Care Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit, no kill, foster based, volunteer ran rescue organization located in Burlington WA. We focus a great deal of our time and energy on litters of puppies, and nursing/pregnant Mamas dogs but do not have set “standards” on what dogs or other animals receive our help. We dedicate hours each week to rescuing animals from many circumstances such as shelters struggling with pet overpopulation leading to euthanasia, breeders “cast offs”, neglectful or abusive homes, given up by their owners due to circumstances beyond their control and off the streets in these overpopulated areas in the Southern States.
Our goal is to place 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 dogs/puppies as well as other animals 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.
Adoption Policy
****CANADIAN ADOPTERS**** are always welcome to apply and the adoption process is exactly the same as US citizens. Puppies/Dogs over 3 months old must have a rabies certificate to cross in to Canada with their new family, the rescue will supply this certificate at no extra cost.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Potential adopters that are interested in one of the pups we have listed through PetFinder have a slightly different process for adoption than our other platforms. **
The adoption process for Potential Adopters via PetFinder for Because We Care Rescue:
1. Follow the link on PetFinder and send us a fully filled out and well thought out application. You can ignore the questions in the beginning referencing the Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge and select “PetFinder” where given the option.
2. If your application is approved you will be contacted via text (or phone call if preferred) within 3 days. If you have not received communication from us within 3 days, you are more than welcome to reach out via our Facebook page www.facebook.com/BecauseWeCareRescue/ this is the easiest way to contact us directly.
**Please remember that we are just human and we are all volunteers, mid-week communications can be difficult as we do our best to evenly spread our time between family, paying jobs and rescue work.**
3. Once a potential adopter is approved the BWC Rescue volunteer contacting them will get them scheduled for a day/time at the Rescue Lounge. All meet and greets are done at the Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge in Bellingham WA. (Less social dogs or longer stay dogs can potentially have other options for where/when to conduct a meet and greet if our volunteers are available to do so.)
4. Every week we go through the applications and on Sundays we do our best to pick the best applicant for each available dog/puppy, please understand that sometimes our dogs/pups get multiple great applications which leaves us with
