Paws Crossed Inc

Paws Crossed Inc is a partner of Best Friends, working together to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country

The Best Friends Network is made up of thousands of public and private shelters, rescue groups, spay/neuter organizations, and other animal welfare groups — all working to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country.

From Paws Crossed Inc

We are a group of dedicated individuals who are passionate about saving those without a voice. We joined this rescue when a small group of people (the rescue owners) joined together to make a big impact on the world around us. Our foster based rescue is home to more than 300 dogs every year. The rescue has been rescuing for over 25 years in a strict foster-based forum. All of our rescues are living in someone's homes until they find their forever home.
