About this Dog
My name is Creek. And I am a mama. I never asked for this life—being alone, being afraid—but when I had my babies, I knew I had a purpose. I was going to protect them. I was going to love them every day of their lives. But then… something terrible happened. One of my puppies—my sweet, wiggly, full-of-joy baby—was taken from me. I saw it. I saw the moment he was here and then… he wasn’t. My heart shattered. I don’t think it will ever fully heal. Now it’s just me and Cane. He’s the last piece of my little family. He’s still just a baby, only five months old. He has my same shape, but he’s black and white, like shadows and snowflakes. He makes me smile, even when I don’t want to. Even when the sadness creeps in. I watch over him like I always have. I still clean his ears, nudge him to eat, curl up beside him at night so he knows he’s not alone. But we are alone. In this shelter. It’s loud. It smells like fear. And worst of all, I’m terrified someone will take him from me. That I’ll lose him too. Please… please don’t let that happen. Cane and I are good. We’re gentle, kind-hearted. We like other dogs, and even cats don’t bother us. We walk nicely on a leash and love to feel the sun on our backs. We don’t ask for much—just to be together. People say we’re darling. Sweet. That we belong in a home, not behind these bars. They’ve even lowered our adoption fee just to help us find a happy ending. But to me, none of that matters if I can’t leave here with Cane beside me. I’ve already lost one baby. Please, don’t let me lose the last piece of my heart. Cane needs me. And I need him. We’re waiting. I still believe there’s someone out there who will love us both. Please… come find us. Before it's too late.

Contribute to Creek & Cane's Stash!
100% of Creek & Cane's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Creek & Cane.
Adopt Creek & Cane and Receive Creek & Cane's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Creek & Cane's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Creek & Cane's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Creek & Cane, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Creek & Cane's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Creek & Cane was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Creek & Cane’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Creek & Cane’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Creek & Cane’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
