Story
Adopted from Star Fish rescue. Nine years old. Best home would be for someone that is home a lot. He has some separation anxiety issues. He is crate trained and has been crated up to 8 hours with no accidents. That is why he needs a new home no life for a border collie mix. I need to find him a home ASAP. My wife passed away in 2024 who was home with him all day. My job takes me away from home. And I am scheduled for long trips. For the next 6 months. Which will be more trips after that. He loves his owner who ever that might be and will be very protective of them I believe a that is the nature of a border collie.

Story
We adopted Juniper several years ago from a shelter. She’s a very high energetic dog and needs lots of exercise and room to run. She is also very affectionate and loves to cuddle. She would do best in a home that had plenty of space and someone who can spend time with her so she can get exercise. She does best with older kids due to her strength and energy level.We’re unsure of her breed. We were told Lab Shar Pei mix but we think she’s Lab Vizsla mix due to her high energy and hunting dog tendencies.

Story
Meet Dixie and Tillie, two beautiful 7-year-old purebred Beagle sisters who have spent their entire lives side by side!These sweet girls are a bonded pair who have never known life without one another, and we intend to keep it that way! They are looking for a forever home together where they can enjoy their retirement years surrounded by love, comfort, and plenty of cozy places to nap.Don't let their age fool you! Dixie and Tillie are still full of life, personality, and all that wonderful Beagle charm. They are incredibly sweet girls who are ready to trade their hunting days for the comforts of being beloved family pets.Their days in the hunting field are officially behind them, and they will only be considered for indoor homes where they can be part of the family. They get along well with other dogs, especially each other, but homes with cats or small animals will not be considered due to their hunting instincts.As true Beagles, these girls have noses that can lead them on adventures, so a family familiar with the breed and committed to keeping them safe and supervised would be ideal.Dixie and Tillie have spent seven years together, and now they're ready to begin the best chapter of their lives. All they need is someone willing to give two sweet sisters a place to call home.Apply to adopt Dixie and Tillie at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org

Story
June is a 4-year-old Beagle who has officially decided that hunting is overrated and laps are much better.This girl is an absolute attention seeker in the sweetest way. June LOVES to be as close to her people as physically possible. She will climb right into your lap, melt against you, and soak up every bit of affection you are willing to give. If there is such a thing as too much snuggling, June has no interest in finding that limit.June is a former hunting dog, but these days she is much more interested in trading the outdoors for a cozy bed, a warm home, and a person she can curl up against. She is incredibly loving and just wants to be near her people. She is not going to go back to a home that will throw her in a kennel until it is time to go hunting. She deserves so much more than that. She will be an indoor house dog from now on. If you are looking for a hunting dog do not apply. Like any Beagle, June will do best with a family that understands the breed and their famous tendency to follow their noses wherever an interesting scent may lead. Secure doors, leashes, and supervision outside will be important.June has already had one career. Now she is ready for retirement, and she has chosen professional lap warmer. She is 32 pounds and a low rider. Her adoption fee is $200 and she comes spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, on flea and tick prevention and heartworm prevention, and microchipped.
