Our Story
Established in 2006, Crossing Paths Animal Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) organization based in Blount County, Alabama. This compassionate initiative focuses on rescuing abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs, providing them with a second chance at life. Co-Founder and President Mary Ellen Tidwell actively visits local high-kill shelters, rescuing dogs that face imminent euthanasia. With a network of volunteers across Blount and Jefferson Counties, these dogs find temporary safe havens until they can be placed in loving forever homes.
