Paws Crossed Animal Shelter and Adoption Center a 100% volunteer run and donation funded animal shelter just outside of Brandon Manitoba- servicing all of the Westman area. We are a registered not for profit awaiting our charity designation; operations are overseen by a board of directors including our on site manager, animal loving community members, and a licensed veterinarian to ensure we are

not just meeting but exceeding provincial standards for operation. We like to say we are animal focused and community driven, with not a single paid position every dollar we receive via donation goes directly to animal care and shelter costs. We have a small dedicated group of volunteers who donate their time to keeping our facility running smoothly including our shelter manager who lives onsite. We take many types of animals- in the last year we have had dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies, quail, and even a pet chicken. Animals come into our care through a variety of avenues with a large portion coming in via animal control from rural municipalities without pound facilities. Having introduced ourselves to the community in September of 2021 we are still the new kids on the block, but are committed to making a difference in the lives of animals in Westman and beyond! Thank you for all your support to date, as we look to the year ahead and the challenges we are all facing in Manitoba. If you are interesting in making a donation to support our work we accept e-transfers at [email protected], in person at the shelter (please message ahead as we are sometimes away on vet runs etc.) and at Rosser Medical Clinic 841 Rosser Ave Brandon who are an official drop off location for the shelter. Our most needed items at this time are:
Clumping cat litter
Friskies or fancy feast wet
Supreme, cat chow, kitten chow kibbles
Training Treats! Toys (especially chews like kongs, topples, etc) NO RAW HIDE PLEASE
catnip
Brooms
Bleach
Detol
Rags & buckets
Dawn dish soap
We couldn't do the work we do without the support of our wonderful community of Paws Crossed Supporters! We also have compiled an amazon wish list to give an idea of types of items we are always in need of or are looking for to provide enrichment activities to our guests.

Keep going, Canada! Humane Canada’s national petition for pet-inclusive housing is now the #1 most-signed petition on the House of Commons list 📝

Lack of pet-inclusive housing is a leading cause of animals being surrendered to shelters across the country. Pet-inclusive housing reduces stress and loneliness for tenants, lowers turnover rates for landlords, and enhances social connections in communities.

Use your voice to create a more inclusive and compassionate housing system in Canada! Add your name: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-5046

Fluffernut has always been a bit of an aloof boy, and prefers to spend time by himself and loves to chase small critters! But every cat can have a Gotcha Day thanks to our Barn Buddies Program. Fluffy found his furever home on a farm with all the frogs, mice and butterflies he could ever dream of chasing in-between belly rubs of course.

Another success story for our Barn Buddies program. Pooh Bear came into care with a serious injury, which prevents him from having full control of his bowels and bladder. This combined with his feisty personality made him a candidate for barn life. Pooh Bear is always on the hunt and ready to play! If anyone will keep mice away, it's him! We are grateful for our Barn Buddies because every cat deserves a Gotcha Day!

A never ending cycle. We are once again asking for help with donations. Particularly wet cat food, kitten milk replacement and vet bills.

For less than $25 month, you can help make a massive difference in the lives of the animals in our care.

We use an average 19 cans of wet food a day. Nearly 600 cans a month. If 18 people sponsor an auto ship order, once a month. This would seriously alleviate strain on our food stores. The.cost of one months wet food is over $400. But if you can spare less than $25 a month, it would alleviate strain on our resources.

Gracie has quite the mix of breeds! 😁
We thought she may have some Chow or Sharpei so we used a donated embark test to confirm. Just shows how we can't always be 100% sure on dog breeds. But we can make a guess.

We would like to extend our thanks to Redeemer Lutheran & St. George's Anglican Church, Brandon and Denise Cox for inviting representatives from Paws Crossed to tonights blessing of the animals. Denise and Onyx attended on behalf of the Paws Crossed Cats, with Britt and Wallace on behalf of K9 Court.

Small moments of joy and comfort for those called to stewardship of the forgotten, forsaken, hungry, hurting and helpless are a blessing to those in Rescue, Shelter, ACO and Vet med. We appreciate the community offering our Volunteers opportunities to take a moment to care for their spiritual and mental health in a way that is meaningful to them, while offering an outing to our residents.

Anyone in Winnipeg able to help for a few hours this weekend?

We're panicking.

We have ONE volunteer for tomorrow evening to load an entire rental truck with a garage full of donations. It's an impossible task without a minimum of 10 people. The reality is, the garage sale will be cancelled if we can't find enough help.

We need:
10 people for tomorrow (Friday) from 5pm-7pm
15 people for Saturday morning from 7am-10am
15 people for Saturday evening from 6pm-8pm

If you want to see us save more dogs and cats, please spare a few hours of time. We can't do this alone.

Calliope was found in a ditch with two siblings, and it's safe to say we were all smitten. Callie spent a few weeks with one of our amazing fosters before meeting her new family. But her foster brother Teddy (one of our other furever friends) let her take his teddy bear with her to snuggle with. This sweet little girl found a great family and we are so happy for her!

Homer has found his unicorn adopters! Due to an FIV positive status, he needed a unique home and he found it! His new family was looking for an older, cuddle bug of a cat, who loved to be around people and would do well in a single pet home for their son to connect with. And Homer is exactly that. He spends each night with their son and definitely loves to snooze on his cat tree!

Brandy was found roaming on Hwy #1, she is emaciated and very frightened. We couldn't get within 30-40 feet of her. Traps had to be set to capture her as we didn't want her running toward the highway. She is slowly coming around and taking treats and accepting some pets #shelterdog #animals #shelter

RELEASE DAY It was a beautiful morning for Storms release back to her home at Southview. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and back under the careful watch of the Forbidden crew who provide food, water and shelter to a small community of feral felines in the area. PawsX animal control is working with colony keepers to ensure stable population and prevent the spread of disease through TNR & colony monitoring in a number of locations. Paws Crossed offers no kill pound service and animal control to a number of RMs surrounding Brandon MB. In order to do this we like most other Manitoba rescues & shelters would periodically transfer some of our population to rescue partners out of province, but as Manitobas Animal overpopulation crisis continues there are just no spaces available. Some cats like Storm are not comfortable in a shelter or around humans and can be safely released back to their normal range with people to watch over them. PawsX is involved with a number of colonies, and colony keepers. We also have a small cohort of long term resident cats onsite providing pest control services. Is this an ideal situation? No. Does it come with increased risk? Yes. But given Pawsx has taken in over 500 felines in our short time, and animal control means we have very little control over the number of incoming animals, having well maintained colonies with dedicated keepers helps us monitor and ensure the health of the Feline population in the area without adding to the population. In an ideal world, all animals would be happy in & find a loving home, but the world is not ideal. TNR in areas with dedicated humans providing food, water, shelter and monitoring of established colonies is one of the ways we are coping with the sheer volume. Initiatives like this are made possible through donations towards spay/neuter & vaccination as well as those providing year round food, water and shelter to these colonies. TNR WORKS! #TNR #tnrsaveslives #tnrworks #homecoming
