My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Birthdate: 6/8/2025

Breed: One of a kind

Weight:   Still Growing!

Prepare to have your heart stolen by two irresistibly charming sisters—Wreath and Poinsetta! With their shimmering eyes and wagging tails, these playful pups are all about spreading joy, showering you with kisses, and curling up for the coziest snuggles imaginable.

If there's one thing that gets these girls’ tails wagging faster than anything else, it's playtime! Whether they're chasing each other around the yard or inventing new games together, Wreath and Poinsetta are masters of turning any moment into pure magic. Their latest obsession? Diving headfirst into a crunchy pile of leaves—bounding and rolling, and inviting you to join right in.

But beyond all the fun and games lies their biggest gift: unconditional love. Just try not to fall hopelessly in love with them—we dare you!

 

 

The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36924/generic

 

If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants.

 

The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

More about this rescue

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.
