Our Little Shadow has recovered well from her spay surgery and is back in her original foster home with her foster brothers. We have discovered that Shadow is not comfortable in busy settings and struggles with change, especially if she doesn't have another confident dog with her. City life is NOT her thing, at least not yet, therefore, we are searching for a rural home outside the city. Her home will require a large fenced yard with little traffic (no multifamily dwellings). Shadow is a lovely girl--sweet, kind and gentle so, please keep reading...
Shadow is a very shy girl and needs you to allow her to come to you-gradually. If you are too assertive, she withdraws so, it's important that her new guardians know she will need time and patience to trust AND once she does, she'll be your best friend. Her new family will need to understand that Shadow is not going to be the dog you can take everywhere as many new things scare her. It's going to take her TIME. Sadly, Shadow lacked a proper imprinting period as a young pup and struggles with things unknown to her, BUT does far better with a buddy next to her~so this is a MUST for anyone applying--you must have another friendly, social dog. All that said--SHADOW is a diamond in the ruff and will make an amazing companion IF you can provide what she needs.
Note: Shadow's foster family live out in Chilliwack in a rural setting with lots of space and privacy. They have 3 dogs and several cats and Shadow adores them all! She has also shown us that she is not good with kids and is best she not live with any--Adults Only! Shadow is 6 months old and weighs 35lbs.
JUNE 28th, 2023. Shadows is maturing beautifully in her foster home and appreciates her foster brothers for showing her the way. Shadow adores other dogs and would like to live with another friendly pooch. Shadow can be quite shy initially when on her own and looks to other dogs for cues. She is becoming more and more confident everyday. If you have another friendly dog and looking for a companion buddy, drop us an email crossourpaws@gmail.com. Homes located within Vancouver Lower Mainland preferred.
This beautiful, soulful-eyed pup is named Shadow and she comes to us from the NWT. She is approx 4 months old, friendly and looking for a committed home located in the Vancouver area. We are not sure how she is with kids or small pets however, an update will be posted soon. Pups are a lot of work and do require someone home part-time as they mature. If you are interested in applying for Shadow, please email us directly and we will forward an application to you. A home-visit will be required. Shadow will be spayed by our rescue in August which is included in her adoption. Please email at crossourpaws@gmail.com for details.

ADOPTING A FRIEND
It's important to consider the commitment and time that goes into caring for an animal. There are medical, food and training expenses etc. and more importantly your precious TIME. It's also important to consider the breed of dog you are applying for as well to ensure a great match for both. If you are not familiar with the breed research it on the net and consider it's traits before making your final decision.
All CROSS OUR PAWS adoptions begin with an application, followed by a home visit IF we feel the application is a good match for the animal. All CROSS OUR PAWS rescues are cared for in foster homes and in order not to be too disruptive to our volunteers, we pre-approve all applicants prior to a meet and greet. We recommend several meet & greets prior to adoption to ensure a "perfect" match. CROSS OUR PAWS will limit adoptions of our "special needs" animals to the Vancouver Lower Mainland areas so we can assist with any issues that may arise. It is also a policy if you have a yard, it MUST be FULLY secure at least in the rear. We do adopt to apartment/condo dwellers if strata permits and the dog is suitable to be in a multi-family complex living arrangement.
As we are all volunteers we try to reply as quickly as possible to all enquiries but it may take up to 3 or 4 days to do so. Emails with applications attached will be considered first. To follow the adoption status of our adoptable dogs (and cats) please keep checking our website (and facebook page) for updates and new rescue posts.
CROSS OUR PAWS RESCUE requests an adoption donation amount of $650 to $750 for pups under 2 years and $650 for dogs 2 to 8 years old (seniors vary between $250 & $350). CATS (seniors > kittens) $250 to $450. Unless Cross Our Paws Rescue and the adopter have entered into an agreement to the contrary, the adoption amount is non-refundable. This donation will help cover any vetting and care the animals may have required. If the donation exceeds the animal's vetting and transport, the remaining amount is applied to other dogs in need of rescue and care. CROSS OUR PAWS RESCUE is a non-profit organization and appreciates any and all help! THANK-YOU!!!

More about this rescue
Cross Our Paws Rescue is a volunteer run organization dedicated to saving dogs in BC/Canada who are in desperate situations of abuse or neglect and need rescue.
We provide the animals with necessary medical care as well as sterilization, a loving foster home and some basic training before they are adopted out to new
loving homes primarily within British Columbia.
We are funded 100% by generous donations from individuals and organizations. All proceeds go directly to the care and rehabilitation of companions in need of veterinary services, training and re-homing.
Cross Our Paws Rescue does not have a shelter facility and all companions in our care are placed in loving foster homes until they find the family that is a perfect match.
We screen all potential adoptive homes to ensure that they are the perfect match for both the animal and the potential home.
