A no-kill animal sanctuary located in Central Virginia, established in 1988, which is dedicated
to caring for homeless animals and enhancing the human-animal bond - More about our mission..

Please help Elroy @

Elroy, resting up before his next procedure!

Elroy - happy to eat again !

 

ELROY is so flattered and grateful to everyone who has chosen to chip in to help him in his recovery program and that his goal for $ 360 for the first step of his recovery process was reached on September 1 !

GOOD NEWS all around- we moved forward
to have Elroy's blood work done last Friday and our vet reports his results were great. Now, Elroy will go to the vet hospital Thursday, September 2nd to have chest x-rays done. This would not have been possible without your help - THANK YOU! We will keep everyone advised of Elroy's progress as we move forward.

Keep your fingers crossed that the x-rays show good things!

Lovely Lab-Mix Krystle

Are you looking for a young, lab mix that loves other dogs? Do you enjoy hiking, running, or snuggling? If you have answered yes to all of these questions, then Krystle is the girl for you!

Young and vivacious, this sweet, pretty girl would love to have a running partner to call her own! Her current partner is her pen mate, Troy, but I am sure she would gladly swap him for a forever home to call her own. Krystle’s exuberant personality and energetic nature make her an ideal jogging candidate, and a total heart warmer that is guaranteed to brighten up your life.

Two years old and full of life, she is looking forward to settling down with a loving, active family who would enjoy taking her on mountain hikes, or for a fun-filled trip to the dog park. Krystle loves other dogs, but would prefer a home with no cats in the household as they make her a little nervous.
Krystle is a white lab mix, spayed, and up to date on all vaccinations.

Adorable Andre !

Bo journo! My name is Andre !

I am quite the little, classy-looking man here at Caring for Creatures. Why is that you ask? Well, all you have to do is take a peek at my sleek tuxedo, and adorable, white, mustache. Everyone here says it looks like I am ready to head to the opera, but don’t let my handsome wardrobe and tiny frame fool you – I am always ready for action. Ok – snuggling is fun, too, but the catnip mice just cannot be left unsupervised!

It’s true – things were not always this great for me. People tell me that I was found setting up shop with my mom and two brothers under a wood pile. It was really hard when I first arrived because my two siblings did not end up making it. I am a pretty small guy, but they were super small and sick. I really miss them sometimes, but now I have twenty other kittens to call my friends here at the sanctuary.

Please come by and meet us. I promise that I am really cute and friendly, and I will make it super fun. I might even show you where the catnip mice like to hide…
