Bea (top) is an adorable, 6 month old, spayed Terrier mix. Bea LOVES life and absolutely LOVES, LOVES to play with other dogs. Bea weighs 11 lbs and is best suited for an adult home or a home with older kids.
Benny is a DOLL and loves affection. He was SO matted when he was rescued off a reserve near Terrace, BC he was in great discomfort and it was painful for him to walk. Benny is in a foster home in North Vancouver learning his house manners. Benny is a poodle/terrier cross about 2 to 3 years old. He weighs 17 lbs.
A HUGE Thank You to Northern Animal Rescue Alliance (NARA) for rescuing these two sweethearts.

Wonderful, Charming Thor needs our help! This young boy needs surgery! It was discovered today that Thor has a bad hip and will need surgery to repair it and relieve his pain. He is only 12 mths old and is such a lovely boy. Please help us help Thor by donating towards his vet bills. We have included Thor’s latest x-ray where it clearly shows what is causing him discomfort.
We expect Thor’s vet bill to exceed $7000 if a hip replacement is needed however, we are looking into TPO as a option. Some may ask if he is worth all this expense and YES he is. We have the ability to help make Thor pain free and we are asking for your help. Any donation is appreciated. You can also make a donation to the vet directly.
Thor came to Cross Our Paws via NARA (Northern Animal Rescue Alliance)in Terrace and we will be working together with NARA to raise funds. He was living with a homeless person, was not exercised and spent most of his time in a crate. Thor LOVES everyone!

This girl has had several litters and she and her puppies were surrendered to a wonderful rescue named NARA in Terrace. Sade and her babies made their way here on Feb 6th. If the pups are anything like their mom…WOW!!!
Sade is young (under 3 yrs old). She is affectionate, happy and wonderful with everyone she meets. A total LOVE! Sade will be spayed next month after the swelling goes down. WELCOME SWEETHEART!

FEB 2ND, 2013. We have some sad news about this amazing dog. Chelsea appears “happy” 99.9% of the time but just recently started coughing (not kennel cough) so we had an x-ray done and it appears her heart is enlarged and she has a small amount of fluid in her lungs. Chelsea is in the beginning stage of congestive heart failure. Poor girl BUT we caught it early and she can live happily for a few years. She is on a light dose of diuretics and a heart medication that will support/strengthen her cardiac functions. She is happy, affectionate and a pleasure to have in our lives. We know this will narrow down her chances of finding a suitable home but we know there is a home out there for her that will care for her until the end. We would place Chelsea in a palliative home for her final years. She is WORTH it in more ways than we can express. The love and life she brings to the home is unconditional….she is a TREASURE!
If you would like to help us by making a donation towards Chelsea’s vet bill we would be forever grateful! No amount is too small. Donations can be made by clicking the link below which will take you to our paypal account. Donations can also be made directly to our vet.

A HUGE THANK YOU to FurDoos for making our adoptable Chelsea feel SO much better!!! She looks amazing!!! Chelsea was the victim of a puppy mill near 100 Mile House. They bred her so many times ALL her teeth needed to be removed as they were rotten. Her tongue hangs out to one side which gives her even more character. Chelsea is good with other dogs and cats but little kids scare her as she has never lived with them. Chelsea is a 10 yr old King Charles Cavalier. She is now spayed (yay…no more pups for Chelsea) and ready to warm your lap. Thanks again FurDoos!!! Visit her post here; http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/24863862 — in North Vancouver.

…For Wilbur and Rocky, two lovely, neutered, 5 mth old feline boys. These two are bros and we would like them to stay together if possible. They are on the shy side so an adult home with no young kids is preferred!
