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.
The Bridge Dogs
While making their rounds, Animal Control discovered a litter of 10 Schnauzer puppies and their dad under a bridge.
Hoarded Dogs Rollo and Trina - A Bonded Pair
Rollo and Trina, 2 of 26 rescued dogs living in a hoarding house, are now socialized and ready for adoption!!!
Blondie and Her Litter
Crossing Paths rescued and rehabilitated a starving mom and her large litter. Blondie and her Summer Litter Aurora, Julian, Lake, Reef, Sailor, Flower, and Nikko are now available for adoption!
Zoe
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.
Mr. Fluffy
On May 28, 2022, Mary Ellen Tidwell, the President and Founder of Crossing Paths Animal Rescue, received a phone call from the local high-kill City Animal Shelter.
Clara
A man approached 2 of our volunteers (Heather and Merit) at a vet’s office. He told them about a dog whose owners abandoned 2 months ago.
