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.
Starved and Hoarded Dog is Ready for a Forever Home
We were introduced to this poor wee pup as #53. What is 53 you ask? He was the 53rd of 125 dogs counted at a hoarder's house.
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.
