Story
Hello Beautiful, Pandora! Shy, but very loving, Pandora has been a family dog, and is now ready for a new adventure. She is strong and will require some leash training, but is fully potty trained. She really enjoys a good run, so a home with a fenced yard or an owner who enjoys running is preferred. Once the running is done, she enjoys a good TV show from the lap of her best friend. Pandora had a litter of pups a few years ago, but is now spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. If you are looking for a loyal companion, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.EffinghamAnimalRescue.com

Story
Frisco is a sweet and energetic goofball! He is full of kisses and wants nothing more than to roll around and play! His most favorite thing is the world are ball toys! He is a super chewer, and can't enough of chasing a ball around the yard. He is about a year and half old and we believe he was once potty trained in his former home. Frisco does not like cats, but we are told he does ok with other dogs. A meet a greet with potential dog siblings is required just to make sure. He does seem to like female dogs more so than male dogs. Given his big head, muscles, and propensity to throw his weight around all willy nilly, we suggest that if you have children in your life that they be older kids (7+) that don't mind getting knocked down every now and again as he plays. A little consistency and daily play time will go a long way with this sweet boy. He loves everyone, but he seems to be especially fond of men. He LOVES car rides! He would make a great travel companion. If intereseted in meeting Frisco please fill out our adoption application that can be found on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.orgHis adoption fee is $200 and this includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, monthly flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention.

Story
Izzy is a stocky little girl who found her self in the shelter. She would love a home with an active family to give her plenty of exercise and love. She is a heeler mix and would LOVE to work. If not given a job, she at least needs daily exercise. Since she has a tendency to want to herd things, a home without young children would be best. She would be great for agility! She is very smart, too smart for her own good! And is VERY treat motivated. She already knows some basic commands, and with some patience and consistency she could learn so much more!So does have a calm and loving side. That is the pittie in her! She is a total lovebug when she has gotten all her energy out. If interested, please fill out an application on our website at Effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org Her adoption fee is $200 and this includes her spay, vaccinations, dewormer, negative heartworm test, heartworm/flea/tick prevention, and microchip

Story
Loki is feeling pretty down in the dumps lately that he still has not found his furever home. He is breaking our hearts 💔 Loki is a 5 year old Staffordshire mix. He is a true couch potato and loves to hangout with his people and chill. He does well with cats but does need to be the only dog. He would do best in a laid, back home due to his laid-back personality. He would also need a home with older children (13+). His adoption fee is $130. He will come current on his age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and neutered.

Story
This black beauty is looking for a furever home. Icee is a 2-3 year old staffie mix. He was found at a truck stop here in town and was never claimed. He is a big love bug and loves to be near people. He was not sure what to think when taking pictures today and had some pretty funny faces to share. Icee does not seem to mind the cats here at the shelter, but we are unsure of how he does with dogs so a meet and greet with potential dog siblings is a must. We recommend a home with older children for him as he does tend to jump when excited. If interested in adopting this sweet boy please fill out our adoption application. His adoption fee is $130.00 which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip and heartworm test.

Did you get my good side? 👑 Meet Meesha. This petite girl is looking for her furever home. Weighing in at 32 pounds this girl is the perfect size! Don’t get us started on those ears 😍 Meesha is a sweet little lady that hasn’t met a stranger. She has done okay with the cats in the office, but a meet and greet would be required with potential dog siblings. We believe she would be fine with children. Meesha will come up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and heartworm tested.
