We rescue dogs from across the Eastern United States and Canada and find them loving homes. As of April 1, 2010, Paws Across Borders Society will open its doors and begin adopting dogs that would otherwise have been gassed to death for no reason other than there is no space left. This page will contain info about us, our fundraising, our available dogs, and ways that you can help us help the dogs.
It has already been asked many times why were aren't doing more local work. First of all, if we came across any dog that needs help locally, we'd be more than happy to help. Dogs need to be surrendered to our care or transferred from another rescue. The ones we are saving from the States are in mortal danger, every time. In many cases, they are pulled out the same day they are slated to die. While many, many dogs need adopted from Nova Scotia, there is not the same urgency here. We encourage everyone that wants to help in some way, to get behind us, or any of the local rescues, shelters, or breed specific rescues, so that we can make a real difference in the lives of the animals we love. Volunteer, donate, foster and ADOPT!
Our Mission Statement:
"The mission of “Paws Across Borders” is to provide second chances at life for dogs who would otherwise be put to death. We accomplish this by means of rescuing, transporting, and placement of these otherwise neglected dogs into loving, caring homes. Funding is provided through fundraising initiatives and donations. Paws Across Borders are a group of compassionate, dedicated volunteers, who organize, handle, and finally adopt out the dogs. There is such a drastic need for the rescue of dogs in areas outside of Nova Scotia, due to high kill rates at pounds and shelters due to overcrowding. While often stretched to the limit, adequate rescue infrastructure is in place locally, which is why our group will be focused on rescuing in other parts of Canada and abroad."
