FAQ's

Do you take in and or/adopt out cats?

No. We are a dog rescue only.

I either found a dog or can no longer care for one. Can Crossing Paths Animal Rescue help me?

Please contact yardleydogs2@aol.com

What are your adoption fees and what do they cover?

Our adoption fees vary but, in general, range between $250 and $400. The adoption fee is notated within each dog's profile. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all core vaccinations as well as heartworm and flea & tick preventatives. We offer a $25 discount to veterans.

When will I receive my new dog’s medical records?

You will receive your new dog’s full medical records on transport day upon receipt of the dog.

When should I schedule my new dog’s first vet visit?

We recommend scheduling a vet visit within approximately 2 weeks of adoption.

Who can I contact if I adopt a dog from your rescue, but things don’t work out?

Please contact us at yardleydogs2@aol.com.

If I live in Alabama, can I come into the rescue to pick out a dog?

Our dogs are in foster homes that are private residences and, therefore, are not open to the public. You must submit an application and, if approved, an adoption coordinator will contact you and put you in touch with the dog’s foster to arrange a meeting.

What is your telephone number?

We cannot be contacted via telephone, but you can email us at yardleydogs2@aol.com with general questions. For urgent matters, you may leave a message at 267-573-4394.

What is Fix Your Mama?

Fix Your Mama is a program operated by Crossing Paths Animal Rescue that provides female dog spay services at no cost to residents of Blount County, Alabama. We also provide neutering services for certain male Pit Bulls for a donation. For more information, please call 205-956-0012.

Why does your rescue group in Alabama come up in a search result of adoptable dogs in the Northeast?

Although our dogs are in foster care in Alabama, we regularly transport them to PA (just outside of Philadelphia). Our transport van also makes stops along the way in VA and MD. Therefore, search results will show that our dogs are available to potential adopters in all areas along our transport route.

Will I be able to meet the dog prior to adoption?

You will only be able to meet dogs prior to adoption if you live within driving distance of foster homes, which are in and around Blount County, AL. Otherwise, you will not get to meet the dog first. You will, however, have the opportunity to speak with a dog’s foster, who can help you to decide if the dog is a good fit for your household.

What is your Application Process?

We will expertly guide you through our seamless adoption process, which consists of the following steps:
‍

Fill out and submit the application making sure that you answer every question fully and honestly.
You will receive an email confirming receipt of your application.
An adoption coordinator will contact you. Please note that we often receive many applications for each dog.
If the adoption coordinator approves you, a foster will contact you to answer your questions and further evaluate whether you and the dog are a good match.
Should you decide to adopt, you will move into the finalization phase in which:

You will electronically sign the contract and email it back to your adoption coordinator.
You will pay the adoption fee via PayPal or credit card.
Our transport team will notify you to confirm your designated pickup date and location. They will also confirm the amount of your transport fee, which is based on current fuel prices and ranges between $140 and $160. You may either pre-pay this fee using PayPal or pay in cash on the day of your pickup.

*A note to our Southern Applicants:

Our adoptable dogs reside in the private homes of fosters; therefore, we are not open to the public. Please submit an application on our website. If selected, we will schedule a time when you can come meet the dog(s) for which you applied.

*A note to our applicants in the Northeast:

You must be comfortable adopting a dog without a prior face-to-face meeting. Fosters can answer all of your questions about a dog. We will send you lots of pictures and you can even request a recorded video or live video call.
