Saint Paul
This is the story of Paul Crowell, a San Francisco resident who has dedicated his life to helping provide care for dogs whose guardians are homeless.
Join our mailing list to receive updates about Saint Paul and see how your support is helping us tell Paul's incredible story.
Paul's extraordinary story tells more than the tale of his love for animals. It's one of triumph and how he turned his traumatic past into a source of love, strength, and empathy for the homeless and their pets.
Despite his lack of physical and financial resources, Paul has made a lasting impact in his community, which he was recognized for when he received a Jefferson Award several years ago. His story shows the powerful role pets play in our lives—especially those overlooked and shunned by our society.
Paul estimates that he helps care for 60-80 dogs on the streets at any given time. The animals below are some of those dogs. However, Bubba, George, and Maggie are Paul's pets, and Lea is his sister's dog.
We finished filming in early 2023. However, we still have quite a bit to do as we prepare to edit the film, and need your support to makes sure Paul's story gets told.
Up to this point, we've been able to film Paul's story with little to no budget. However, post-production is expensive, and we simply can't afford the costs. Join us by contributing via our crowdfunding page, following us, and sharing with others to get the word out.
