Babe Ruth
Update March 2024: TO MY SPECIAL HUMAN – THIS POST IS FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!!! I know you are out there and waiting for just the right canine friend to come into your life. Well, here I am – ready and waiting for you. I have been blessed to have been at Caring For Creatures for many years, but I feel the time is right for me to retire into a home of my very own! If I may, allow me to share just some of my many positive qualities: I come already programmed with experience and wisdom; I’m a lovebug with humans (just ask the CFC staff and volunteers!), I will entertain you with my silly antics as I enjoy my toys (I have LOTS of toys here); I’m great inside and I’ve been dreaming of having a couch of my own where I can put my couch potato skills into practice. Yes, officially I’m a “senior” with 12 years of sharing love under my belt, but you will find I still have some pep in my step and enjoy (and need) exercise to keep my mature figure in top shape!! My only request is that I be your only animal friend. A fenced yard for lounging and playing would be great as well. Please call the wonderful humans at Caring For Creatures to arrange a time for us to meet – I’ll be waiting for you. Love, Babe
Update Winter 2024: "I had a couple really sweet evenings recently with one of the long term volunteers who drives a good 2 hrs to come and help at the Sanctuary. His name is Ed and I adore him. He might stay after hours doing his "thing" but is always great about checking in on me and taking me out of my overnight bathroom area at The Scratching Post and to the ante room at The Post. He and I will curl up and chat on the mini sofa there for some extreme snuggle time. It truly does my heart good. He will also take me for a short walk right before he tucks me in bed and heads back home. I know I am loved and important especially with Ed by my side. Ed tells me I am in good health and promises to come and chill with me again soon. For this, I am grateful.
Update Fall 2023: Our pretty redhead Babe Ruth seems to be in a good state these days. Staff and volunteers alike have noted that she's more calm and laid back and has a greater feeling of peace about her. Boy, do we love this! Babe Ruth is still up to her silly antics of burying her toys and still has her fave volunteer Angela bringing her a fresh of assortment of toys to help keep her at her best. Some might say Babe Ruth maintains the best overnight accommodations on site in the ante room of The Scratching Post and who are we to disagree with this observation? We enjoy and are honored to have Babe Ruth under our care and look forward to fitting her with her winter coat to enjoy the upcoming cooler temps. You go sweet girl.
She’s a BABE all right! While she may not catch the balls and run the bases, she’s ready to make a home run hit with you! All dressed up in her two-tone jacket and happy to show off her long, lean legs, Babe Ruth’s a real head-turning lady! But her beauty is not just skin deep. She has the perfect skill set for a busy, active family, whether walking down Main Street or rambling through the park. Babe Ruth is a very social, affectionate lady. Just prior to our taking her in, her very temporary foster family reported that she was a HUGE couch potato only wanting to be near people! Don’t be fooled by her love of the sofa though, as she loves to get fresh air and exercise to keep her sleek, trim look! Very, very smart, she knows sit, shake and lay down on command. A friendly gal, she’s pretty unflappable and ready to head on home to your private ball park!
A Word from Babe Ruth
“Ask just about anyone who has met me and they’ll tell you that I am one of the sweetest dogs around. When I first met one of my walkers, I knew at once she would be friendly! I immediately approached her with a toy in my mouth and placed it at her feet, and wagged my tail expectantly. I love attention and I am quick to roll onto my back for belly rubs. Although I am getting older, I still have plenty of energy and love to go around chasing tennis balls. Going on car rides is one of my favorite things! Not to be conceited, I am easily one of our smartest dogs and am perceptive and well-behaved around people. During feedings, I always wait patiently on my platform and never jump, despite being excited to eat as evidenced by my wagging tail.”
What Babe Needs in Her Home – Babe Ruth is a great dog, very friendly and loving, but she will do best in a home without cats and other dogs. Be careful that she does not see another dog or cat up close, because she can pull very hard when interested, and she may not use her best manners. A fenced yard would be great! She is happy in a crate or without, and understands the dynamics of living indoors, including housetraining. She is good around kids, and will be a great part of your family!

Munchkin
Hello everybody! My name is Munchkin. I'm a male boxer mix and was born in May of 2013.
I wandered into the Snowden subdivision around Thanksgiving 2013 - and boy was I one thankful pup when the people took me into their home with their teenage boys and 3 other dogs for me to play with.
I get along great with everyone and love to play. I have attended obedience school, where I learned to sit, stay, walk on a leash and get along with other dogs. I just know I would be a wonderful addition to someone's family!
Munchkin has a lot of anxiety surrounding new people he doesn't know and scary new situations. For his protection and that of other people/pups, he wears his muzzle. He wears a muzzle pretty frequently, so it is important he has one that fits him properly and doesn't rub. There can be a stigma surrounding dogs who wear muzzles, but really, it's just a responsible solution when you have a nervous pup who can potentially react negatively.
*Behaviors not listed have yet to be tested.

Holly
Holly was first sighted roaming a Newark neighborhood along with her calico and tri- colored friends that were mysteriously and cruelly dumped...these were house cats!
Holly’s New Year’s Resolution choice must have been life! She didn’t have a winter coat and was rescued right before the wintry storm, it was a miracle!
She is an amazing and lovely lap cat that enjoys the company of her human. Once she gets to know you.
She adores the Cat Sitter DVD program during the day and Rich Man Poor Man in the evening after her dinner of Simply Nourish Chicken wet food, Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Chicken Meal Cat Food, and Costco’s Kirkland Brand Chicken Hard food, followed by a bowl of clean water to wash her palate.
Holly has been vetted. She’s spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and passed the combo blood test. She’s healthy and ready for a harmonious life with her new family.
Holly loves to gaze out of the closest window to watch nature at its best. She is a well mannered kitty that wants to please her forever family through her humility, and perpetual love.
Holly deserves a good stable home where she’ll be loved and appreciated. I hope that, that home is yours

Barnie
BARNIE! Just look at this MAGNIFICENT boy! A little time, a gentle touch, a soft voice and you will have all of this!
Barnie has been waiting for his forever home for 9 years! He turned 9 on 7/13. He was my very first foster cat in 2017. His gorgeous green eyes had lots of things to say and it took a very special caretaker named Aurora for him to fully open up and tell her those things. Aurora spends lots of time in the cattery with the older kitties. They are often overlooked. Thank you for always being there for the kitties, Aurora.
Please give a soft natured, kind, and deserving older kitty a chance at true love like this.

When he gets excited, he looks like he's smiling.. We would love to find him a home where he can get the attention that he deserves. Ricky will require a secure, fenced in yard.
