Story
🔩 TIN MAN2 years old | Under 25 lbs | Chihuahua mixTin Man may look a little rusted at first, but with patience and kindness, this boy is going to shine.With striking blue eyes and a look that sets him apart from his brothers, Tin Man is a chihuahua mix with hints of something herdy in his background. He’s currently very shy and still adjusting to all the new sights and sounds of shelter life.The good news? With quiet time and gentle reassurance from staff, Tin Man has already started to open up. Once he trusts you, he’s going to be incredibly loyal and loving, the kind of dog who sticks close once you’re “his person.”Tin Man needs a calm home and an adopter willing to move at his pace. Give him time, and you’ll see there’s a whole lot of love under that shiny exterior.We were told that he and his brothers are housetrained, but are used to going in and out as they please with a doggy door to a fenced in backyard. They will need leash training and housetraining in their new home. His adoption fee is $200 and this includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, monthly preventions, and a microchip that we register for you. To apply visit EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

🌾 SCARECROW1 year old | Under 10 lbs | Chihuahua mixScarecrow may look like he’s made of straw, but don’t worry, this boy definitely has brains.The smallest of the group at under 10 lbs, Scarecrow is built like a tiny fawn with long legs, wispy straw-colored hair, and a gentle, friendly nature. He’s the most trusting of the bunch and greets the world with curiosity instead of caution.As a chihuahua mix with a blend of other breeds, Scarecrow is light on his feet and big on charm. He’s affectionate, social, and eager to be included in whatever adventure comes next, even if that adventure is just a walk to the couch.Scarecrow would thrive in a loving home where he can continue to grow his confidence and soak up attention. No crows to chase here, just hearts to steal.His adoption fee is $200 and this includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, monthly preventions, and a microchip that we register for you.

🦁 COWARDLY LION2 years old | Under 25 lbs | Chihuahua mixCowardly Lion may have the fluff of a king, but right now he’s still working on his courage.The biggest of the brothers (though still under 25 lbs), Cowardly Lion is a soft, straw-colored chihuahua mix with expressive eyes that show just how unsure he feels. New situations can be overwhelming, and he’ll need extra TLC as he learns the world isn’t quite so scary.Like Tin Man, Cowardly Lion has already started to come out of his shell with patient staff members who spend quiet, gentle time with him. Each step forward proves that bravery doesn’t mean fearless, it just means trying.With the right adopter, Cowardly Lion is going to grow into a deeply loyal, affectionate companion who bonds hard once he feels safe. All he needs is someone willing to walk beside him on his yellow brick road.We were told that he and his brothers are housetrained, but are used to going in and out as they please with a doggy door to a fenced in backyard. They will need leash training and housetraining in their new home. His adoption fee is $200 and this includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, monthly preventions, and a microchip that we register for you. To apply visit EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org
