Who are WE?
CROSS OUR PAWS is a non-profit "all-breed" dog rescue organization. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who love animals and have joined together to help rescue, provide medical care, rehabilitate and rehome abused, abandoned, homeless animals. Many times we rescue animals (primarily dogs) who have found themselves unwanted and lost in over-crowded shelters and facing death row.
All animals that come through CROSS OUR PAWS are examined by our veterinarians prior to placing them in temporary foster homes. Placing our animals in temporary foster care, allows CROSS OUR PAWS time to assess each animal's individuals needs. It also allows the animal time to adapt to his/her new environment and receive any attention he/she requires such as training and socializing. With this CROSS OUR PAWS is more able to re-home the animal ensuring the best match for both the animal and his/her human companion.
I Have Done Something
~Jim Willis~
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal. And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied. "I created you."
~ SHELTER DOGS ~ CROSS OUR PAWS is working with our local animal shelters to help find wonderful homes for the many homeless animals in need. These poor dogs are living in concrete kennels, cold and lonely, waiting and waiting for someone to take them home and love them forever. Many of these dogs have been living the shelter life for months. CROSS OUR PAWS will assist shelter animals when asked whether it be by pulling the dogs who are not doing well in the shelter and placing them in foster care or providing extra exposure by featuring them on our website.  |  ~~~ Please DO NOT BUY a dog from a pet store or animal broker as the money you pay SUPPORTS puppy mills. The cute puppies being sold at pet stores are most likely mill dogs. Don't turn a blind eye while homeless pets die! ~~~ |
