OUR FEATURED PETS…

SWEET, SWEET SHADOW
WANTS A FRIEND!!!

SHADOW is STILL on the look­out for her new fam­i­ly (hope­ful­ly with anoth­er friend­ly dog). She is healthy, spayed and about 15 mths old, and weighs about 50 lbs.

SHADOW has shown us she is not com­fort­able in busy set­tings and strug­gles with change, espe­cial­ly if she does­n’t have anoth­er con­fi­dent dog with her. City life is NOT her thing, there­fore, she absolute­ly needs a rur­al home out­side the busy city. Her home will require a large fenced yard with lit­tle traf­fic (no mul­ti­fam­i­ly dwellings). SHADOW is a love­ly girl — sweet, kind and gen­tle so, please keep reading…

SHADOW is a very shy girl and needs you to allow her to come to you…gradually. If you are too assertive, she with­draws and hides so it’s impor­tant that her new guardians know she will need time and patience to trust and once she does, she’ll be your best friend for­ev­er. Her new fam­i­ly will also need to under­stand that SHADOW is not going to be the dog you can take every­where as many new things scare her. It’s going to take her TIME.
Unfor­tu­nate­ly, SHADOW lacked a prop­er imprint­ing peri­od as a young pup and strug­gles with things unknown to her BUT does far bet­ter with a k9 bud­dy next to her, so this is pre­ferred for any­one apply­ing — you must have anoth­er friend­ly, social dog. All that said…SHADOW is a dia­mond in the ruff and will make an amaz­ing com­pan­ion IF you can pro­vide what she needs.

Note: SHADOWS fos­ter fam­i­ly live out in Chill­i­wack in a rur­al set­ting with lots of space and pri­va­cy. They have 3 dogs and sev­er­al cats and SHADOW adores them all! She has also shown us that she is not com­fort­able with kids and is best she not live with any — Adults Only Please!  Please email at crossourpaws@gmail.com for details.

ALL ABOUT SIGGI…

 

SIGGI is look­ing for a LOVING HOME or FOSTER FAMILY ASAP! Sad­ly, after 4 years of being adopt­ed, SIGGI is loos­ing her cur­rent home due unfor­tu­nate fam­i­ly cir­cum­stances. She is cur­rent­ly liv­ing on Bowen Island with anoth­er friend­ly dog.

 

SIGGI is almost five years old and a won­der­ful, med-sized girl about 55 to 60 lbs. She is a healthy Shepherd/Husky mix that is vac­ci­nat­ed and spayed. SIGGI enjoys play­ing with oth­er dogs once she gets to know them and has lived well with an old­er dog the past 4 years. She LOVES to relax on her pil­low while her fam­i­ly works, and will also fol­low them around check­ing out what they are up to. Her cur­rent fam­i­ly says she is a sweet­heart who enjoys play­ing with her toys, oth­er dogs or just snug­gling-up with her humans to get end­less cud­dles.



SIGGI loves her walks but prefers a qui­et, rur­al set­ting and also prefers to fol­low a rou­tine. She is well trained using pos­i­tive train­ing meth­ods and knows many com­mands. SIGGI does exhib­it some anx­i­ety if spend­ing too much time alone or in unfa­mil­iar places. Slow, calm intro­duc­tions are need­ed for her to feel her best with new peo­ple and in unfa­mil­iar settings. 

SIGGI would flour­ish with an active, dog-expe­ri­enced fam­i­ly who can pro­vide her with con­sis­ten­cy, exer­cise and rou­tine AND of course LOVE.
