*** I’m not directly connected with this rescue, but wanted to share if anyone has been searching for a new puppy. Below is a post from their Facebook page ***

“🚨These are still looking for fosters or adopters for the emergency transport this weekend🚨

They went to the vet and loved the extra love and attention they received! The golden’s are extremely friendly and the others warmed up quickly and were begging for more pets and scratches. They are hoping to go straight to adopters but if not would love a foster home until their forever home comes along.

We are still waiting on pics of the the 20 others we will be getting! And then more after that, this will take a few transports. They have been living in cages so there isn’t much information on each dog other than what we have on the website.

BEFORE APPLYING PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND:

-These dogs have been living in cages together so they NEED another dog in the home. -They are NOT house trained. -They have NO experience on leash

• A fence is a plus, they would still need to be on leash in a fenced in area for safety until they are comfortable in their home. -A fence is not required but PLEASE understand you need to be very cautious when taking them out, double leashing will be very helpful. -They are flight risks and will take a little time to warm up and learn how to be a dog. They will need a lot of patience when learning to live inside and learning to love.

Please understand this will NOT happen overnight and it can take months before some dogs are comfortable and understand they are in their forever homes.

Bump for visibility!

Bumping for visibility. These fur babies need forever homes.

I agree. I would foster or adopt if I could.

Thank you.

Poor pups. I'm glad they're being up front with the issues puppy mill dogs face. I hope they all find loving, patient homes.

Babies ;-;

Bump for cross your paws. Most recent addition to our household came via then, and very impressed at their support throughout. Ours came from a hoarding situation, and they were great about transitioning vaccination records, tracking behavioral things, etc. really hoping all these fur babies find a loving home.

Man I'd take one in a heartbeat if they weren't requiring another dog in the home 😔 I hope these babies are all able to find their forever homes fast

Why’d they name one of the dogs Trump lmao

This is a rescue, Cross Your Paws, that is currently asking for people to foster or adopt these dogs.

The dogs are coming up from Kentucky. I’m going to guess a volunteer down there named the pup.

My guess is because they are the same color 😂

They are not in any way supporting a breeder, they are transporting the dogs from KY to PA to be saved from the breeder most likely because they didn’t sell

I will always be in support of any recuse service, however I'd like to share my experience with Cross Your Paws for anyone here considering adopting from them.

They did not tell us that the dog we were looking to adopt is on daily medication and has a special prescription diet. It wasn't listed anywhere on his profile and our point of contact never mentioned it. We found out when the fosters handed us the pill bottles. Luckily, we were in a position where it didn't matter to us so we still adopted him, but it did rub us the wrong way. We had suspicions that it was because he was having a hard time finding a forever home.

Be prepared for them to leave the dog with you after the meet and greet. I'm not sure exactly how common it is for rescues to do this, but the only reason we knew to expect it was because we know someone who warned us (because it happened to them and they didn't know).

Every dog deserves a good home. I don't want to discourage anyone from adopting from them, just be mindful and ask questions.

?????? Irrelevant. It’s a RESCUE

Where do you think they were rescued from? Lol

I have some concerns as well. They recently told someone who hasn't fostered for them before that whelping and newborn puppies don't need any help for the first three weeks, which is... misguided at best. It's not cool to mislead people just to get a dog placed. That's setting everyone up to fail. I was totally taken aback by that statement.

I agree. Misleading people is not okay, especially when it comes to the life of a rescued pup. I think they get away with it because ultimately it's about giving an unwanted animal a safe home, but it's still wrong. I love the dog we adopted from them, but he easily costs us $200 more a month than we were expecting. I can totally see why someone in a different financial position would be annoyed and unable to care for him properly.

It's unfortunately not uncommon in rescue. I understand the impulse but it can even put people and animals in danger. (Transporting dogs from out of state and placing them, for example, is well intentioned but not always a good idea. But it happens, because there aren't enough resources or time to save every dog. Which sucks, as a dog person. So I understand why rescues try to place them quickly. I just can't agree.)

It makes sense why they do it, but it's still wrong. I (have to) believe that there are people out there who want the dogs who are on meds, who can't be left alone very long, who have medical issues. I totally get finding a dog who fits the person's lifestyle, but pet ownership is not something you can turn on and off. Rescues should be fully transparent on the pet they are adopting out, otherwise you get unhappy people and unhappy pets.

We adopted our dog from CYP about a year ago. We had a great experience. It’s worth saying though, they are much more easy going (blasé, maybe?) then the other rescues around. That worked fine for us, but may not for everyone.

I foster through CYP, not particularly surprised that happened. The descriptions for the dogs profiles are written by the foster parents, which then gets edited by the org. It’s absolutely wild that the foster parent neglected to include that information, and the organization seems to be in constant need of support / paperwork staff so I could totally see how it’d slip through the cracks. :/
