Crue’s journey began on the streets of Canton, Ohio, where he was found running alone and was picked up by the Stark County Dog Warden and sadly became the longest resident. When he came to Hopebridge Farm, it was clear this pit bull had been through a lot. He was severely underweight, his ribs visible through his fur, and his back was covered in open sores. Crue had not only been physically neglected but also emotionally wounded—he had lost his trust in people.

At Hopebridge, we knew Crue needed more than just physical healing; he needed to regain confidence in himself and trust in those around him. With patience, love, and lots of care, we worked day by day to build his strength, both inside and out. Slowly, Crue began to respond to the training, learning basic commands and starting to believe that he was safe. His vibrant personality began to shine through, revealing a dog full of life, love, and potential.
