Rescue Stories
Every dog that Crossing Paths Animal Rescue saves has his/her own unique story. We would like to share the following narratives that highlight the extraordinary circumstances of the rescue, exceptional actions taken by our volunteers, and/or the resilience of the dogs who we rescue.

Upon visiting the high-kill shelter, we observed a 1-year-old pup curled up in the back of her crate who refused to move. She had a huge abscess on her side.
