Here is a new bio and pictures of Bentley.  Introducing Bentley the Chihuahua: A Tale of Trust and Love Meet Bentley, an adorable Chihuahua with a unique personality. This little furball may seem shy and aloof at first, but don't be fooled by his tiny size. Bentley has a protective nature that can make him apprehensive around unfamiliar faces. However, with patience and understanding, this little guy has the potential to become your loyal companion and a true love bug. Bentley's quirkiness stems from his past experiences, which have made him wary of new people. He believes in taking his time to establish trust and forge a deep connection. If you look at him the wrong way, he might get a little defensive and deliver a tiny nip as a warning. But fear not, for Bentley's heart is full of love, waiting to be unlocked by someone who will invest their time and effort to earn his trust. Once Bentley finds that special person who understands his unique needs, he begins to blossom. It may take some time for him to adjust and feel secure, but with love and consistency, he will gradually let go of his guarding instincts. As he bonds with his chosen loved one, Bentley transforms into an affectionate little companion, showering them with warmth and dedicated loyalty. One of Bentley's most endearing qualities is his ability to understand the importance of building a genuine connection. He craves companionship and seeks someone willing to invest the time and effort required to truly know him. In return, Bentley promises to be a faithful, loving, and playful friend who will bring joy and laughter to their lives. So, if you're that special person willing to embark on a journey of trust-building with Bentley, you'll be rewarded with a lifelong bond that goes beyond words. Just remember, great things come to those who patiently wait, and Bentley's heart is worth every second of the journey. With time, love, and understanding, Bentley will transform from a little ball of caution to an adorable love bug who will love and cherish you unconditionally.

Hey there, folks! We're Boots and Slick, two beagles with a story that's seen its fair share of tough times but blossomed into something beautiful. Our journey began in a place we'd rather forget, where we were mistreated and confined to a tiny crate for most of the day. But guess what? We're survivors, and with the love and care of our current owner, we've come a long way.  Despite our rough start to life, we're the sweetest boys you'll ever meet. We've shown no signs of aggression and get along great with tiny humans, furry feline friends, and other doggies. We're a playful duo who love to run around, but when our human leaves, we need a cozy crate to help with that separation anxiety. Trust us, we don't like being apart for even a short walk – it just doesn't feel right. The good news is, we're totally quite and calm in our crate and don't carry on like many dogs of our breed would. Now, when it comes to meeting new faces, we're a bit shy, especially around men. But offer us some tasty treats, and you'll win our hearts in no time. We might bark and hide when we're scared at first, but there's never been a mean bone in our bodies. One more thing-- Our 3rd birthday is just around the corner on Thanksgiving and we hope to have a new home by then to celebrate!  So, that's us, Boots and Slick, living our best lives and proving that love can conquer all – even a rough start. Thanks for reading our pawspective! *Boots and Slick are a bonded pair and must be adopted together show less

What are we thankful for!? An opportunity to find a forever home for the holidays!! We came all the way to Pennsylvania from Kentucky to find our families🥰 There’s 9 of us, 2 boys and 7 girls! We are pretty petite, about 8 weeks old, and our breed is unknown, but we will be small/medium size when full grown and 100% cute 🐶 and 100% sweet! We love playing, eating, sleeping— just like your typical puppy! We get along great with other dogs, cats, and kids. 💞 Our demeanors would fit in with any family who is dedicated to teaching us and helping us grow into our best selves!!    Camila does have an umbilical hernia on her stomach. She was examined by a vet, and it currently is not a concern and does not seem to bother her. If she were to need it removed in the future, Cross Your Paws would cover that cost. In the meantime, she just needs to have her adopter keep an eye on her/it! If you’d like to add us to your family, please submit an application!  If you are interested in adopting or viewing our available dogs, please visit crossyourpaws.com.

Hello, I am Choney. Man life's been tough these last six months. I was brought to the clinic after being struck by a car. The people claimed I wasn’t theirs and abandoned me in pretty bad shape. I did lose a leg but I am still 'A super friendly despite it all kind of guy', I get it dude ... I may not be the dog for you if giving paw is super important to you (wink wink)  but other than that, I am healthy, happy and ready to live my best life!  I get along well with other dogs, cats and kids, of all sizes, I am very friendly and have nothing but love to offer to a family. I have heard them say: What a GREAT dog!  I am believed to be a Shep (maybe Pyrn mix). I am 1 1/2 years young, already neutered and I go about 65lbs. I do enjoy the cooler weather, cause I have a nice, warm, thick coat. I may not be able to 'work' or roam on a farm, but I do enjoy the outdoors, so if you have a fenced in yard, that would be most lovely for me. Additional notes from my foster momma: Choney is a large luv bug!  I also think Choney may be Anatolian Shepherd but it is just a guess. He is soon to be the Home Depot Greeter because every trip we make there, he usually makes friends with every customer (they are going to give him his own vest they said!)! He truly is the happiest guy I have ever met. Loves everyone and everything. He just loves to be with people, but does enjoy the outside and seeing what is happening in the neighborhood. He would prefer to be with someone who can spend a majority of the day with him, since a crate stresses him out and is not an option for him. He likes cool spaces and weather! He has learned "place" and sleeps in his "place" at night. We are working on "place" when I leave the home to help with seperation anxiety. Someone with the patience to help him master this skill when left alone is most ideal. He LOVES to be outside (weather permitting of course), so if you have a fenced in yard or a nice deck, he would be in heaven keeping watch over the neighborhood (but it is not required, as he is leash trained). He loves car rides and he'd prefer to go on any adventure with you to be by your side. Choney is such a good dog so you literally CAN take him anywhere! He is potty trained. If you show him the door to go outside, he will let you know simply by sitting in front of it. Because Choney is an amputee (front leg) easy access to the yard and one level living is the most ideal. He can take indoor carpeted steps without any difficulty or hesitation, and he can get in and out of the car easily but longterm would be a concern with his size with steps everyday. He knows his own limitations. Wooden steps (inside or outside a home, like a deck) are not his friend. And if I didn't mention it yet ... this boy, right here, well he is a charmer!  show less

Dallas 🐾

Dalmatian

Are you looking for the most loyal companion? Meet Dallas! He loves to snuggle, is the ultimate couch potato and he never wants to leave your side! Dallas was chained outdoors for his first 9 years of life. When his “family” moved they dumped him at the shelter. But that was a blessing in disguise because now Dallas is a house pet and after some adjustment, he’s decided this is the life!  Dallas loves to run and play with his foster doggie sisters and brother (although he did meet one male dog he didn't like). He was anxious at first (and who could blame him after his start in life?!)and even jumped a chain link fence shortly after his freedom ride. He is also able to squeeze under a chain link fence that has no attachment at the bottom. Dallas now takes an inexpensive daily medication for his anxiety and he is brilliant! He’s 99.9% perfect with house training, which is amazing considering he wasn’t neutered until recently and never lived in a house. His crate training is going well, he doesn’t love it but he does settle down after a short time.  He is fantastically smart. Being part Dalmatian, Dallas is nearly completely deaf. But he is such a quick learner that he is already picking up on some signs that his foster mom and dad are using for “come” and “sit.” The deafness really doesn’t faze him and since he never wants you to be out of his line of sight, recall hasn’t been a problem. He even comes with a deaf dog "starter pack" with a special tag, leash wrap, vibration collar and book. His foster mom even made him a Christmas stocking that he requests be filled with yummy treats from Santa Paws and festive bandana so he is ready for the family holiday photo shoot. His DNA test has been submitted and we are waiting for the results. Foster mom is a curious one so she submitted it, but is certain the results will be 100% goodest boy.  He is surprisingly spry for 9 years old, he runs and plays with his 2-3 year old doggie friends and keeps up right along with them. He’s great on a leash and a nice size at 50 lbs. He loves people and kids.  With the separation and car ride anxiety improving every day, Dallas is ready for his happily every after! Dallas would love to spend his first holiday season off the chain snuggled up safe and warm with his forever family. He needs someone with patience and understanding but will reward you with immense love and gratitude for the rest of his days. It’s been amazing to see his transformation in just a few short weeks and being his foster family has been the most rewarding rescue experience yet for his foster parents. Can you give this sweet deserving boy a place in your heart and home?  show less

Demi I’m a sweet little timid girl who is just starting to come out of my shell- I love to explore the areas of my foster parents house that are off limits- (ie I just found the cat litter box- and my new favorite treat is cat crunchies! ) This makes my foster mom want to puke because my most favorite activity is using my laser fast tongue to give her kisses while she tries to put on my leash In all seriousness- I’m a bundle of love, I get the excited wiggles when I see the cats or the 6 year old dog that I am staying with. I’m good with my manners- when they hiss or snap at me, I back off.  My foster mom is working with me to show me new things- I’m tiny as compared to my bolder brother Dixon - and that takes me quickly into new settings- I like to take it easy and slowly go about new things- this is my first time for all this new stuff! When I get scared- I freeze and lay close to the ground. I’m not doing this much anymore- but it was my way of gaining some safety- it’s way better than running for the hills! I hope to find someone to love me unconditionally because I have so much love to give! I also would probably love to have a kitty of my own (there is an all black 13 year old kitty here (she looks just like me) and I would just love snuggle up and take my naps with her!  show less

🐾 Help Find Demi a Forever Home! 🏠 We're reaching out to our amazing community in search of a loving forever home for Demi, an adorable 8-month-old Shepherd mix. Demi found herself in need of a new home when she arrived at someone's house and they couldn't keep her. Unfortunately, her original owners were never located. Demi is an absolute sweetheart who loves people, kids, and gets along well with other dogs. She even seems to be okay with cats! However, she does have a fear of thunderstorms, so a patient and understanding family would be ideal for her. With your support, we can help Demi gain the confidence she needs to become the fantastic companion she is destined to be. She is up to date on her shots but still needs to be spayed. We kindly ask for your assistance in ensuring her health and well-being. If you or someone you know is interested in opening your heart and home to Demi, please reach out to us directly or visit our website for more information. Let's work together to find Demi the loving forever family she deserves. Please share this post with your friends and family, as your network could hold the key to finding Demi her perfect match. Together, let's help this sweet pup find her happily ever after. Thank you for considering adoption and for your continued support. Your kindness truly makes a difference in the lives of animals like Demi. With heartfelt appreciation, Cross your paws Rescue  show less

Did someone say "velcro dog"??? Elam is a very sweet boy who showed up at a home in KY as a stray. He's now made his way to Cross Your Paws in Pittsburgh, and is staying with a foster family. In his foster home, he has an 11-year-old foster sister that he co-exists with nicely. So far, he is not very playful with his dog-sister, or his mom. He would probably prefer to be the only dog in a home because he wants a lot of pets and snuggles, but he defintiely can be around other dogs, as long as they are laid back. He's gotten more interested in stuffy toys, but still has not shown an interest in chewy or peanut-butter filled toys. He loves to be by your side at all times, and will push his face between your hands and another dog. He gets very jealous and just wants to be appreciated for being the handsome boy that he is! Elam is a small guy at only 26 lbs, but needs to gain 5-10 more pounds to be at a healthy weight. He's gained a few pounds in foster so far, and loves meal times and treats! He's a very laid-back dog, and everyone who meets him is surprised at how relaxed and chill he is. He's non-reactive to other dogs that pass him on walks, which is a big bonus! He has a small pray drive and will try to chase the bunnies in the yard, but is quick to reset, and doesn't hyperfocus on wildlife. He absolutely loves to be pet constantly and can't get enough ear scratches and belly rubs! He loves to snuggle up against you, and sleeps in his foster mom's bed with her and her other dog.  show less
