“The other night when we were leaving the stadium, we saw this dog curled up in the middle of the road,” she said back then. “He got hit by a car. I was like, we have to pull over.. we took him out of the street. He’s been in the hospital now for two days. We’re hoping to adopt him and take him home. Right now he’s in critical condition at the animal hospital. If everyone can say some prayers for my new pet.. his name is Crash, because he was in a car crash. Please guys, send good energy to my little baby.. that would be great.”

He is curious, affectionate, and grateful for a second chance at life. It was so incredibly painful to witness a dog in so much pain after being hit by a car, and left in the middle of the road with so many people driving by his curled up body. I’m just grateful I was able to be there and get him the care he needed. I have officially adopted him and Quincy now has a new brother! Once he finishes recovering he will be attending school 💕 thank you to everyone who prayed for Crash🙏Also a massive thank you to the wonderful team of veterinarians that took care of Crash and helped him receive the best possible care!"
