The very first Paws Crossed Animal Rescue dog!

[RachelsaurusRexU]

He's a TOTAL HAM! Super sweet, submissive, loves everyone! He passed his shelter evaluation with flying colors and is great with other dogs. He needs to learn some general manners, especially leash manners, but we'll fix that! He seems very eager to please and his foster mom is very experienced, so he should be a well behaved little ambassador in no time! He's currently being treated for a URI, so as soon as he's squared away with that he'll be HW tested and neutered. His skin and coat look like CRAP and he's very thin. He'll soon be on a grain free diet with weekly RMBs and salmon oil, so we'll fix that right up too! No name so far. Will post updates!

OHHH...he is a HANDSOME boy!!

My first thought was Nova...for Innovation...ya know, a start of new things!!

He's a great looking guy! Reminds me of Shade, a big lovable goofball. Are you going to be breed specific, or specialize in certain breeds or did he just happen to stumble onto you?

I'd call him Handsome Feller or "Heller" but then again...I live in the south

I love that name! I think I'll save it for a female though. I want to give him a cute, meaty name! Like Hamlet or Hamilton. We'll see!

No, I won't be breed specific, though I sort of expect to end up with more bully breeds than anything else. I'm not even doing solely dogs, actually. I'm going to focus on animals that are facing euthanasia in high-kill shelters, including cats and small animals!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your effort in saving animals... really, everybody needs to give a big thank you to people like you. He is so lucky and I KNOW he's in good hands!

Bravo Rachel!!!!

I'm curious though, are you going to be taking "possible death" cases only? how will you deal with spay and neuters? I know there are a lot of non profit clinics out there that focus on keeping numbers down, or will you try to recruit your own vet help? I commend what you'r doing.... you're such a good person!! If you need any help with phone work or anything let me know I'll try to be as much help as you need ;)

Awww Thanks so much, Dave! Yes, I am definitely going to focus mainly on urgent "death row" animals. I can't say that I'll NEVER take on an animal that isn't in grave danger, but I guess it mostly depends on the situation and how many fosters I have available. I really want to help animals that are at the end of the line and don't have another option. In 99% of situations, I won't take an owner surrender. I'm more than willing to help someone find a good home for their pet, or see if I can help them get the animal into the shelter I work for, and there are plenty of other no-kill shelters and humane societies that they can try. I feel like I need to help those that are truly, desperately in need.

Hey, thanks for the offer! I very well may take you up on that!
