Barry's Story

Meet Barry a 9-year-old senior gentleman, with the sweetest temperament and the soulful brown puppy eyes. He is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves people and will follow you from room to room, curious about what you’re up to, and will sit beside you with his head resting on your lap. He is not too clingy but does love closeness, pets (especially butt scratches), and simply being near his human. He has a calm, kind presence and is loyal and easygoing. Barry forms attachment and trust quickly. <br/><br/>Barry is happiest when he’s spending time with his person - he doesn’t need much beyond companionship, affection, regular outdoor time, and a cozy place to rest. He’s not very interested in toys, but he does love his Kong when it’s stuffed with his favourite wet food. At home, he usually relaxes in his bed and quietly watches his current foster go about her day. <br/><br/>He has a good balance in terms of energy: not a couch potato, but also not high-energy. He loves having 2–3 walks a day (35–50 minutes each) and may have bursts of energy in the begging of the walk, but as an older dog he gets tired when a walk is too long. He gets excited when he sees me getting ready to go out and would bark a little to encourage me to hurry up. <br/><br/>Barry is fascinated by cars for an unknown reason. He loves watching them go by and will happily try to hop in if a door is open. He is house-trained and very well-behaved at home. He prefers to sleep in his own bed but may join you on the couch once he feels comfortable. <br/><br/>Barry is really indifferent to other dogs; he prefers being next to people. He doesn’t play much with other dogs but will calmly approach and sniff them, and, at a dog park he prefers to greet the humans! <br/><br/>Barry does best with a consistent routine. As an older dog, he’s had a couple of accidents when left too long without a bathroom break, so regular walks are important. Barry is not great on the leash, and he does pull, so will need someone with patience and understanding and lots of treats to help - he is a big boy. <br/><br/>Barry is neutered and we have all his recent blood work and vaccine records.

Cross Our Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Cross Our Paws' adoptions begin with filling out an adoption application (must be over 21 years old to apply) followed by a home visit if we feel the application is a good match for the animal. All our rescues are cared for in foster homes and in order not to be too disruptive to our volunteers, we pre-approve all applicants prior to a meet and greet. Our adoptions start with a one to two-week trial to ensure that the animal is a good match for your family. Cross Our Paws generally limits the adoptions of our "special needs" animals to the Lower Mainland area so that we can assist with any issues that may arise. It is also a policy if you have a yard, it must be secure at least in the rear. We do adopt to apartment/condo dwellers if strata permits and the dog is suitable to be in a multi-family complex living arrangement. CROSS OUR PAWS requests an adoption donation for all our rescues as we could not rescue without it. Your donation will vary depending on the animals care and vet expenses and age.  If the donation exceeds the animal's vetting, care and transport, the remaining amount is applied to other dogs/cats in need of rescue and care. IMPORTANT NOTE: All our puppies MUST be spayed/neutered no later than the date specified by CROSS OUR PAWS at the rescue's vet which is prescheduled and mandatory. Adopters are notified in advance via email of their alteration date. Failure to comply will void the foster-to-adopt agreement. ADOPTION FEES:  Puppies (under 1 yr) - $750 Dogs 1 to 7 years - $650 Senior dogs 8 years and up - $250 - $400 Kittens/cats under 2 years - $395 Cats  2 to 8  years -$350 Cats senior over 9 years - $250 Bonded pair of kittens - $750 Guinea Pigs - $20 or $35 for bonded pair Rats - $15 or $25 for bonded pair All dogs & cats come with the following at time of adoption: Vaccination Certificate for basic  "core" vaccines (Parvo/Distemper combo x 2) Spay/Neuter Certificate Tattoo/Micro-chip De-worming (if required) We recommend a fresh diet over processed kibble Please email us for an application to be sent to you - crossourpaws@gmail.com ***Before adopting please consider the time and commitment that goes into caring for a pet. There are medical, food and training expenses etc. and more importantly your precious TIME. It's also important to consider the breed of dog you are applying for as well to ensure a great match for both. Many of our dogs are great with kids but some dogs are not suitable to live with children which is something to consider when applying. If you are not familiar with the breed of dog you are interested in research the breed before making your final decision. To ensure you and your canine companion are happy and content and your dog knows what you expect of him/her enroll in obedience training as soon as possible. We have a list of many wonderful canine trainers to recommend in your area.
