Sisters Freya and Flora were both very grateful to find refuge at BYC at just 10 weeks old. These two young girls were surrendered as part of an accidental litter. They were severely underweight and had spent so much time in a crate that they had difficulty walking. We have spent the last few weeks working with our vet staff to get these two brave pups ready for adoption! Now all they need is a loving family.

Both girls are considered "Basset hound" mixes that will eventually grow to be between 30-40 lbs. They will both need patient and committed families who will work with them to continue to grow into healthy and spoiled companions.

Applications are required to visit with these dogs, please visit www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog

Peanut Butter can be very serious and calm when there isn't a playgroup for her to join! Then you will find her to be very silly and extremely playful. We think PB would make a wonderful addition to an active home.

This 6-month-old, Lab mix has a lot to offer potential adopters. She is currently gaining experience living in foster care with other dogs and children. She is expected to remain under 50 lbs. fully grown. However, we don't know what breeds PB is mixed with, don't you see a little Weimaraner in those ears? We sure do!

Applications are required to meet with Peanut Butter, visit www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog

Happy from our favorite goofball Chaz. This silly boy always seems to be making a silly face.
If you are looking for a loving but slightly weird BFF, maybe Chaz is your man.

Bravo is a young and active Boxer dog, through and through! If you know the breed, then you know the feeling of watching that adorable nub wiggle with excitement. Bravo is truly a sweet dog just waiting for a second shot. While we don't know much about his past, we do know that Bravo was brought into a really crowded shelter where they didn't have the resources to care for him.

That's where BYC jumps in! Deserving dogs with bright futures find refuge in our foster homes. At 2 years-old, Bravo is well on his way to becoming someone's loyal lifelong, companion! We would like to see him continue to maintain a weight between 40-50lbs.

Applications are required to meet with Bravo, visit www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog

Marbles wanted to stop by today and remind everyone that FeLV+ cats are very handsome, incredibly sweet, and very adoptable.
Because of the virus they should be adopted either as only cats or along with other FeLV+ cats, ask your adoption councilor for more information.
Apply today at becauseyoucare.org.

Since everyone has an extra hour today, please visit www.becauseyoucare.org.

Adoptable candidates like our Border Collie, Trina, wait eagerly for adoption! True to her breed she is active and alert, but all Trina truly wants is to be loved. She plays well with other dogs and is learning more each day that she spends with our volunteers at BYC. She is becoming more patient and understanding, which can be a very difficult thing for a herding breed!

Trina is a little over a year old and weighs just under 50 lbs. She deserves an active home with breed experience. If you have time to devote to Trina's journey, apply today to schedule a visit! www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BYC/Dog
