My name is Shimmer!

Simply fill out a questionnaire and we will get back to you within a few days. Please feel free to come by and visit our Rescue while we process your questionnaire! Please note that we do not hold pets for any reason. We have a first come, first adopt policy for applicants with pre-approved questionnaires.

Our mission is to "Rescue One By One Until There Are None." At Paws Crossed, we believe that our mission is best fulfilled through rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, advocacy, collaboration and education. Paws Crossed is a private organization which relies solely on donations, grants and fundraising events for our income; we do not receive any Federal, State or Local assistance. We are dedicated to being a true no-kill rescue. This means we will only euthanize for terminal illness or irreversible suffering. We are committed to saving as many lives as we can, while also providing the best possible environment for the pets in our care.
