    Crossroads Campus: Caring For Humans & Animals In The Greater Nashville Area

    Love heals, and powerful life lessons can be learned through caring for others. This concept is at the heart of all that we do at Crossroads Campus. We have a deep love and appreciation for two-legged and four-legged members of our community and work hard to better the lives of both through the healing power of the human-animal bond. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) with a passion for creating and fostering caring connections between people and pets. Through our diverse programs, we bring people from all walks of life together to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals and young people in the community.

     

    We’re On A Mission To Bring Hope & Promote Positive Change

    Any day of the week, you can find those of us at Crossroads working hard to transform the lives of people and animals. Through our programs, we strive to:

    • ENHANCE EMPATHY & COMPASSION for all living things through positive interactions with animals
    • EDUCATE & EMPOWER people to take care of their pets
    • FIND LOVING HOMES for dogs & cats
    • OFFER PAID JOB-TRAINING internships to young adults who lack the connections  and experience needed to break into the workforce
    • PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING for young adults on the brink of homelessness; offering stability, safety and community to those who need it most.
    • OPERATE A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE that offers high quality pet products and grooming services for consumers looking to make a “purchase with a purpose”

    Our Programs Include:

    Caring Connections

    Life is better when we realize that we’re all connected and in need of the same things: love, companionship, and understanding – that’s what Caring Connections, our humane education and outreach program, is all about. The goal of humane education is to teach respect and compassion for all living things, and our Caring Connections program does this by pairing youth and young adults with rescued animals to educate, promote healing, build strong human-animal bonds and promote successful pet adoptions.

    Job Training & Pet Adoptions

    Our Pet Retail Store is a social enterprise that provides a temporary home for our adoptable dogs and cats and serves as a training ground for youth and young adults in our community. The young people earn income while they acquire work readiness and valuable job skills through caring for our adoptable pets and customers.

    Residential Program

    Transitioning to adulthood and independent living can be daunting for anyone, but it’s especially difficult when you lack the resources and social connections we all need to move ahead. That’s the reality for the young people in our community who are working to overcome poverty or time in the foster care system. Through our residential program, we provide a safe, affordable, and supportive community for young adults who are at risk of homelessness, helping them set and work toward career, housing and education goals.

    Check Out Our Adoptable Pets

    We work in partnership with Metro Animal Care and Control (MACC) to rescue abandoned animals and place them in loving homes. We pull dogs and cats from MACC’s shelter, freeing up much needed space in their facility, and bring them to our Crossroads Pets- Shop & Adopt store, where we provide shelter, food, training, and, of course, lots of love while they await their forever family. If you are looking for a new furry family member, please visit our Adoptable Pets page – you’re bound to fall in love!
