Crossroads Animal Rescue focuses on the rescue of the Molosser breeds that we consider to be at most risk of overpopulation, abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The breeds that we feel most fit that category are as follows: Rottweilers, Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, American Bulldogs, Cane Corso Mastiffs, Dogo (Presa) Canario's, Dogo Argentino's, and Bandogges. We never take or refuse a dog based upon age, health condition or gender as we are firm believers in rescuing without prejudice. Another huge focus of our rescue is also largely based upon education. Rescues can help save the lives of animals which is obviously very important, however the real way to end the suffering and homelessness of animals is through education and legislation. Our goal is not only to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome misplaced and/or mistreated animals, but it is also to change the way our society as a whole views all dogs...especially those who are so commonly are considered to be outcast by society because of widespread misinformation broadcast by the media, and fueled by abusive and neglectful owners. Once the public can see what incredible dogs these breeds are, than the concept of breed banning would no longer exist. One of our goals is education, but of course the other is to place animals in loving forever homes. Crossroads Animal Rescue is devoted to saving the lives of dogs that are inches away from death, many of whom have been abused, starved, fought, and had a variety of problems, but many of which can sometimes just be products of a divorce or their owner passing away. We take in these dogs, and regardless of the level of training and rehabilitation they need, we commit to it and see to it that once the dog has visited with our rescue, that they are prepared to head out into the world confidently and happily with their new family. We look at every dog we place as our own. If there are ever any problems at any point during the dogs life, we absolutely have a return policy and no dog that we place can ever be given to a third party. We are very careful as to where the dogs are placed, as we feel this is the only way to ensure that they live long, happy, safe lives with people who love them unconditionally. The beginning of our adoption process is by applying for the dog. This can be done by filling out an application on line or printing one out and mailing it in via snail mail.
