Danielle Collins recently shared a heartwarming update on Crash, a dog she rescued from a car wreck during the 2025 Miami Open. Collins already had a pet dog named Quincy, whom she affectionately refers to as Mr. Q.

Collins was seeded 14th at the WTA 1000 hard court tournament in Florida. She began her campaign in the second round after receiving a first-round bye. She defeated Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 7-6(3) in the opening round and then overcame qualifier Rebeka Masarova 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the third round before falling to top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-4 in the fourth round.

Following her win over Masarova in the third round of the Miami Open, during the post match on court interview, Danielle Collins had revealed that she had rescued a severely injured dog from outside the stadium and had taken him to hospital so that he could recover. She had also mentioned that she had named his Crash because he was in a car crash.

Recently, Collins took to social media to share that Crash is now out of the hospital and recovering well. She described Crash as "curious," "affectionate," and someone who is "grateful for a second chance at life."

"Crash update: Crash is recovering and finally out of the hospital after 5 days on oxygen support. His breathing is back to normal, his wounds are healing, and he is definitely enjoying all the love he is receiving. He is curious, affectionate, and grateful for a second chance at life," Collins wrote.

The former World No. 7 revealed that she has officially adopted Crash and that Quincy now has a "new brother ."

"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!" she continued.

Danielle Collins expressed her gratitude to the veterinarians who cared for Crash and to those who prayed for his recovery

"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!" Danielle Collins added.
