Hi I’m Charles! I have a 1 year old French bulldog named Frankie and my family has had dog breeds of several shapes and sizes. I love to get out with pups and have a good time in the fresh air, and am always down for some walks so I’d be glad to take your pup for one too. Something I’m pretty good at is getting even the laziest dogs to be happy and excited, some just need a little energy to get them going, I know my Frenchie does!

Taking time from my University studies to rejuvenate and travel, dog walking with Wag allows me to earn a little extra! I was four years old when I began training our family dog. I was home alone for a few hours and crafted a special bond with our purebred Rottweiler named Zeus. Sometimes I get along better with animals than people, probably because my family has always bred dogs and treated them as part of the family. Wag is an amazing way for me to blend both my love for exercise and dogs!

Dog Boarding in Erie
BYC spays and neuters all of their incoming pets in an effort to curtail the pet overpopulation.
The dogs that enter into Because You Care often come from neglectful or abusive homes. By opening your home to another soul that has the capacity to love his human beyond limits - you are telling that animal that they matter. If you are ready to make this commitment and change an abused animal's life forever, please contact the shelter and staff at BYC. There are so many pets waiting for their second chance.
Before your potential adoption is final, the pet will receive all necessary medical care and someone from the staff of BYC will perform a few home visits. This is necessary to make sure your home environment is safe and suitable for a new addition and for them to be sure the dog you want to adopt is the right dog for you and your family.
If you would like to volunteer at the rescue or become a potential foster family, contact Because You Care's staff. They will be grateful for your assistance. If you are able to make a donation of cleaning supplies, food, toys, treats and other necessary items, or a monetary donation, again the rescue will be grateful for whatever you can give. Loving animals is easy; being their voice and advocating for their safety and lives is much more difficult and time-consuming. Please do what you can for the love of animals all over the world.
