No dog should have to endure a life outside in the cold. Unfortunately, many of them never find shelter at all.
Due to being often overcrowded, many rescue organizations struggle to assist all the dogs that need help. As a result, countless canines find themselves in dire situations without anyone to offer them support.
The story of Bar Crawl also began on the streets. This gentle boy was teetering on the edge, awaiting an uncertain fate. He had lost all hope of finding refuge until, unexpectedly, a miracle happened.
The Last-Minute Rescue

The compassionate team from Stray Rescue of St. Louis sprang into action upon learning about a dog living in horrid conditions. All alone, Bar Crawl endured harsh cold and darkness, desperately seeking help.
His backstory is murky but easy to imagine. This poor boy was covered in wounds, suffering immensely from infections.
Upon arrival, the team devised a plan to rescue Bar Crawl, but he surprised them all. He needed little persuasion to jump into the car. He willingly surrendered to his rescuers, nestled into the car, and promptly fell asleep.

“He didn’t care where he was going, just as long as it was away from there. The cold. The lonely. The wind. The dark,” shared the rescue team on Facebook.
It seemed as though he was indifferent to his destination, so long as it was far removed from where he had been captured. His rescuers were heartbroken to witness his plight, knowing the terrible experiences Bar Crawl had endured.
Throughout the journey, he remained completely still. He finally felt safe enough to relax and enjoy a well-deserved nap on a warm, soft car seat.

After arriving at the facility, Bar Crawl was promptly examined by a veterinarian. His injuries were treated while he was under sedation.
Although the team at Stray Rescue of St. Louis is eager to care for Bar Crawl, they are currently overwhelmed and at max capacity.
“We are officially WAY OVER max capacity again. It only takes one day to turn everything upside down,” noted the SRSL on their social media.
The team is appealing for anyone nearby who can offer a foster home for Bar Crawl since he truly deserves a loving environment. At this moment, all he needs is love and understanding.
And, when he’s ready, we firmly believe that Bar Crawl will blossom back into the wonderful, affectionate boy he truly is!
