Young Volunteers Organize Bake Sale and raise $ 350 for the Sanctuary !

Carrie Fisher, Georgia Castleman and Hannah Steadman with pups Amy and Charlie.

Hannah, Georgia and Carrie are all 6th graders at Covenant School in Charlottesville. Hannah was listening to the radio when she heard Alden Bigelow, the voice of CFC on several radio stations, talk about the big snowstorm and the damages the storm caused to several of the dog pens.

Hannah decided she could do something to help. She and her two friends organized a bake sale to benefit Caring For Creatures and assist in rebuilding the damaged structures.

On Saturday, January 16th, the girls held their bake sale AND when all was said and done, the young entrepreneurial students had raised $ 350!

Thank you Hannah, Georgia and Carrie - you ladies are the best!

Each Animal in trouble matters - everyone counts.

Caring For Creatures is helping, one animal, one person at a time.

Casper, Just Six Months Old !

"WOW.......what a journey I've been on for the past several months. Let me tell you my story. I was brought in as a stray by animal control in South Carolina. I was almost bald due to a skin infection and I was infested with fleas. If it were not for a kind volunteer who took pity on me, I would not be around to tell you my story. Even though I didn't look like much, she knew I had a lot of potential and deserved a chance at life.

Well, here I am several months later at Caring For Creatures. There's so much more I could tell you, but they only gave me so much time to get my story out there! I am now about six months old and pretty darn close to that potential I told you about earlier. My hair is growing in nicely, I've just been neutered, and have received my vaccines. I am a very playful fellow and have tons of puppy energy. I love playing with other dogs and have made some good friends at the sanctuary.

My name is Casper, and I am a white Pit Bull mix with some black spots on my ears. I would love nothing better than to become a valued member of a happy family. I'm hoping to see you at Caring For Creatures very soon."
