Crossroads Animal Shelter provides a comprehensive and compassionate service to the people of the Wright County area through protection, care, shelter, placement, and education for the dignity and well being of all animals.
Who We Are
Since September 1999 Crossroads Animal Shelter volunteers and staff, began working first through a vast foster home network and now through our new shelter building to help over 4,900 homeless and needy animals from the Wright County area.
Our new shelter building stands proudly to continue providing shelter, food and responsible owners for homeless cats and dogs. We are a registered, non-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) status for your tax deductible donations.
Were excited about our new facility which opened January 31, 2002! Enthusiastic financial support from many individuals and business along with ongoing fundraisers provided construction of our new building. The building is located three miles east of Buffalo off Highway 55, just across the railroad tracks on 10th Street, Southeast.
About Us
In September of 1999, a small group of dedicated volunteers with years of experience caring for animals came together for the sole purpose of building a spacious, new shelter to help homeless and abandoned animals from the Wright County area.
We set an ambitious goal to raise $20,000 in our first year and at the end of that year, realized more than three times that amount. At the end of our second year, having been gifted a parcel of land for our new facility, we moved forward with plans to break ground.
In January of 2002 we opened the doors of our new shelter to the public with space for more than 30 cats and kittens and 20 dogs and puppies.
From our birth to the opening of the new facility, we helped more than 950 animals through a network of about 40 foster homes. Currently, we have helped more than 4700 animals with a placement rate of 95%.
We owe our success to many good-hearted people. Those who have provided temporary homes for needy animals, those who have helped us financially, and those who volunteer their time and talents so that we may continue to make a difference for so many animals.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we operate on limited resources with gifts and contributions from people who care about animals.
Volunteer involvement is essential to carry out the
dream now that the building is complete.
Crossroads has three areas
of major concentration including:
foster care, education and fundraising
and we need your help!
