Animal Control found Cilantro, a 2-year-old Doodle mix with badly matted fur, roaming the streets and took him to Chilton County Animal Shelter.

Our hearts broke for this poor boy so we pulled him from the shelter and brought him to Crossing Paths. Upon examination, the vet found a hernia worse than she had ever seen. Cilantro undersent surgery and took several weeks to recover, then it was on to the barber shop for his amazing transformation.

Have you ever seen a bigger smile?

What a happy boy our Cilantro was and is! It didn't take long for his charming personality to come shining through! This playful boy has a passion for water and loves to play with his toys! He is quite the social butterfly who loves playing with other dogs. Once tired out, he turns into a true cuddle bug. Cilantro is truly a wonderful boy who is sure to bring a new family endless love and happiness.
