I’m Elliott, a veterinarian and farmer in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I’m also a husband, father of five, and Army officer who just can’t stop thinking about how to make life and work better for people like me who love animals.
When I started buying highland cattle and miniature donkeys a few years ago, I honestly couldn’t believe there wasn’t already a modern, secure online marketplace for live animals. So I started building Creatures to solve my own problems. I wanted a transparent community for buying and selling, paired with a fun, easy way to keep up with health, breeding, and registrations in one place.
It’s already been a game‑changer for me to have every photo, video, and record in a single profile for each animal. Now I can just copy a link and send it to a potential buyer, another vet, or a friend without having to dig through my photos or track down records every time. Create a profile for one of your animals to see how it works. It’s free and should take less than a minute.
My crazy hope is that Creatures can be the online home for every known and loved animal around the world. I’m glad you’re here!
She was given to me as what I refer to as my "make a wish cow". Shes missing an eye from an umbilical infection at birth, was getting beat up by bigger cows, and I was told she doesnt cycle, so shes been a companion cow and pasture ornament. I've battled parasite loads with her, my vet told me to cull her a year ago, I almost lost her twice from unknown illness and every negative test result imaginable.. I've had her 18 months now, shes put on 250lbs, shiny glossy coat.. and now I'm really curious if shes in fake standing heat or if shes actually cycling now that shes in good health. I have no plans to breed her, but want to document so I can track and see if shes actually cycling and I need to keep her separate

Update on the puppies! This beautiful litter arrived on April 14 and will be ready for their new homes on June 9. Currently I have 1 chocolate female and 1 yellow female still available. They will come home with AKC limited registration (pet only), a 1-year health guarantee, health certificate from our vet, current shots and dewormings, and a bon voyage bag. The puppies have/will be exposed to different surfaces and we also do ENS and ESI. Their parents are both DNA health tested and have had their hips and elbows checked. If you have interest in these puppies, please reach out! We are asking $2,500 plus Vermont sales tax for them. For shipping and delivery option, please reach out.
It's been a long time coming, but I'm going to work on getting our animals loaded up here ASAP! We'll be weaning this month, so we'll possibly have some calves to list here as well. 😊
