✨ • Core Values Spotlight ✨

Next up in our list of core values ...INTEGRITY!

Integrity is the quiet promise we make to always do what’s right ... especially when it’s difficult, unseen, or uncomfortable. For ten years, integrity has been the heartbeat of Paws Crossed. It’s what guides our choices, fuels our advocacy, and ensures that every pet in our care is treated with honesty, respect, and compassion. 🙌

We stand up when it matters. We speak out when it’s needed. And we never look the other way when a life is depending on us.
Because integrity isn’t just a value ... it’s a responsibility. And it’s one we proudly carry, together. 🐾💙

Thank you!!! ⭐️

: Every Tuesday we bring you a little mashup of The Dogist, Humans of New York, and all the heart of a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie—because the people behind the scenes are just as extraordinary as the magnificent pets they support. 💕

Today, we’re honored to shine our spotlight on Harry—one of those steady, good-hearted humans who quietly makes everything better!

Harry walks our pups rain or shine ☀️🌧️—no complaints, no shortcuts, just consistent care and dedication. If he sees a staff member tackling a chore, a volunteer who needs an extra set of hands, or a visitor who needs help bringing in donations, Harry is already there asking, “How can I help?” before anyone has a chance to ask.⭐️

He also never hesitates to jump into our photo sessions—no matter how silly (or slightly crazy) they may seem 📸😄. If it means giving a dog or cat an extra spotlight and a better chance at getting adopted, Harry is all in ..... ALWAYS!

And through it all, he brings the same kind smile and calming presence that both our pets and people feel immediately. THANK YOU, Harry, for your generosity, your heart, and your unwavering support. Paws Crossed is truly better because of you! 🐾

🐾 – : Tail-Wag Tuesday with Danish (now Kuma!) 🐾

Danish came to us as a puppy—all legs, all energy, and a whole lot of goofy charm. Think baby giraffe vibes 🦒 Big, gawky, and growing into himself right before our eyes. People adored him, but his size sometimes made them pause… even though his heart was always bigger than his legs.💙

He even had a very special date with Pete Alonso (yes—during his New York Mets days!) thanks to The Dodo, and we just KNEW his moment was coming. Then one day, a young man came to visit… and the connection was instant. You could feel it. We crossed everything when he said he’d come back.

And guess what?
He did.
And guess what else?
He adopted.
And guess what else else?
We got the sweetest update. 🥹✨

“It’s been a little over two months since I adopted Kuma (FKA Danish), and the 17th was his birthday! He got a big bone and some treats (carefully—tummy issues!). Life has been more relaxed lately, and he’s adapted beautifully to our chill family routine. We’ve been working on off-leash training with his sisters, and he’s doing great. He’s such a sweet, good boy and gets more comfortable every day.”

From an oversized goofy puppy with boundless energy to a beloved family dog living his best, loved life—this is what it’s all about. Sometimes the perfect match just takes a little longer!💫

Happy Tail-Wag Tuesday, Kuma. We always knew your forever was out there. You had your entire PCAR Family in your corner buddy, and we could not be more thrilled keeping in touch on all of your awesome adventures 💙🐾
