My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 Name - Louie
> Age - 2

50 lbs.
> Colors - black & white
>
>> When I first found Louie, he was wandering around a gas station 
> freezing and missing tufts of fur from malnutrition. We got
> him healthy and he has been a crucial part of our home since. I have
> two german shepherds and a rottweiler mix (also a stray we picked up)
> already at the house. We took time to integrate him into our home, and
> once we did, he fit like a glove. He loves chewing on his benebones
> right next to his sister, or taking a nap on top of his brother. The
> boys love to run around our fenced in backyard and bark at passing
> cars. He loves chasing balls, and is very good about dropping them as
> soon as he brings them back so the playing doesn't have time to stop.
> He is an extremely sweet and cuddly dog. Once he learned he could jump
> on our bed, he tries to sleep in between me and my fiance every night.
> He loves to ball up in between my legs when I'm lying in bed or sneak
> his way up to my pillow to lie belly up.

> He is good with people and dogs. He can get possessive around male
> dogs when food/toys are close, and he has snapped on our other male
> dogs before but only in high energy situations such as when friends
> are over or new toys introduced. It is probably best for him to be in
> a house without other male dogs.
> He is crate and house trained - we are going to work on the leash.

Louie is a boy who is wonderful to have in our home, but we have too many dogs already, and we feel that Louie deserves a home in which love and cuddling could be devoted to him.  He's  great.  We'll miss him.  (posted 2/8/26)

Additional adoption info

We are not a shelter, our dogs are in a network of foster homes. We have transports of adopted dogs to Hagerstown, MD area and as far north as Newtown, PA (and points along the way) at least every 3 weeks.

Please see our website for adoption and transport fee info.
www.crossingpathsanimalrescue.org
If you are interested in any of our dogs, the first step is to submit the application found on our website.

List any dogs that interest you in order of preference. If you don't see anything right now, check back often as we update frequently.
When your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog's foster mom/dad who will answer any questions you may have and so that the foster may get a feel for your situation and determine if the dog will be a good fit for your particular household. If all that ends on a positive note, we'll finalize the adoption (process payment) and schedule the dog for transport, if needed.

If you are uncomfortable adopting a dog without a prior face-to-face meeting and you are in the PA/NJ area, we have adoption events several times per year at local pet stores in Newtown, PA or Lawrenceville, NJ for which we bring up 15-20 adoptable dogs. Watch our website for up coming events.

* PLEASE NOTE: We review the applications in order of receipt and many of our potential adopters who are otherwise qualified miss out on a dog that has stolen their hearts because the application came in later than others of equal merit. Here's my advice: file the application ASAP. Don't waste time sending an inquiry asking info on the dogs and if they are available. We , on the front lines, don't know each dog personally; what we do know is in the description we have provided . We will let you know if the dog is available or not upon receipt of your application and give you the opportunity to select another.

More about this rescue

Crossing Paths is a 501(c)3 animal rescue organization based in Locust Fork, Alabama.
Several times per week, Mary Ellen Tidwell, the President of Crossing Paths Animal Rescue, visits one of the many the high-kill facilities in Alabama and removes as many adoptable dogs as she can accommodate in her own kennels and foster homes. Dogs which are adopted by families in the Northeast are transported every two to three weeks to PA/ MD and various locations in the Northeast.
When the transport leaves to bring the adopted dogs north, Mary Ellen returns to the high-kill facility to fill the vacancies left by the adopted dogs. What does this mean for you?
EVERY DOG THAT YOU ADOPT FROM CROSSING PATHS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NOT ONLY SAVED YOUR DOG, BUT YOU HAVE PROVIDED ROOM SO THAT ANOTHER CAN BE RESCUED.
