Some stories begin at rock bottom but rise into something beautiful — stories like Tiffany Cranford’s. On April 15, 2024, what could have been another dark day in a long battle with addiction instead became her “clean date,” the turning point that marked the start of a new life filled with gratitude, purpose, and hope.
After serving 11 days in jail, Tiffany was determined to turn her life around. With the help of Rogue Valley Street Dogs — a nonprofit that provides free spay/neuter services and veterinary support to the pets of people experiencing houselessness or financial hardship — she found a way forward. The organization’s compassionate outreach helped Tiffany keep her beloved dog, Lola, by her side as she entered recovery housing. That simple act of kindness, she says, changed everything.
Today, Tiffany is thriving — studying at Rogue Community College, caring for her granddaughter, and making colorful beaded bracelets sold at local businesses to raise funds for Rogue Valley Street Dogs. Her story is one of redemption, resilience, and gratitude, showing how the bond between people and their pets can be truly life-changing.
Read the full article to see how Tiffany’s journey — and Lola’s loyalty — are inspiring hope throughout the Rogue Valley.
