Story
🎆 This 4th of July, Give Snow the Freedom She Deserves 🎆 Meet Snow, an 8-year-old sweetheart who’s been through more than any dog ever should. Her previous owner sold her for just $50 — and the stranger who bought her left her outside for days with barely any shelter or water. 💔 When help finally arrived, Snow didn’t hold back her gratitude. She’s been nothing but loving and loyal ever since. She craves human connection and just wants someone to sit by, follow around, and love with her whole heart. 🐾 Snow is happiest in a calm home without other pets or small children. She wants to be your one and only, and trust us — she’ll make sure your heart feels full. 🇺🇸 This Independence Day, let’s help Snow find the freedom and family she’s always deserved. She’s ready to trade pain for peace, and neglect for a new beginning. 💙 Could Snow be your firework this 4th of July? 📍 Effingham, IL 📞 217-347-5695

Story
🎶Sister, Sister🎶Meet Tia and Tamara 💜These adorable girls came to the shelter after they were sent to the vet to be euthanized due to their owner no longer being able to take care for them 💔 The hearts of our local animal control wardens couldn't take it, so they had to save them. Which means their shelter was once again at maximum compacity. We were luckily able to pull them in to our rescue here at the Humane Society in order to help out our local animal control to remain a no-kill facility. 🩷Tia is a hound mix with the cutest floppy ears. She loves to play! 🎾💜Tamara is a lab/possibly basset mix. She has the lab body with short legs 🥹 She is the more chill one that loves to lounge around 🛋Both girls get along well with children, cats and other dogs. They are both spayed and UTD on all vaccines. They are heartworm negative and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.Their adoption fee is $0 for the bonded pair thanks to a kind donor! We do not want to separate them and hope they can find a home together. To apply, visit our website at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org/adoptable-pets
