This handsome fella is Nick. He's a 2yr old Shepherd-Heeler mix who was an unclaimed stray that we pulled from a shelter to save his life. Nick is full of energy and playfulness. He's in school to learn good manners and commands, and is doing so well! Nick would be a great addition to an active family. Nick is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and currently receiving prevention for flea, tick and heartworm. If you're interested in welcoming Nick into your family, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.effinghamanimalrescue.com.

Story
What can we say about Charlie... Charlie is beautiful.  Charlie is young.  Charlie is smart.  Charlie needs a parent who is smarter than he is.  (Charlie knows all of us are beautiful).  Charlie is AMAZING with children.  He LOVES his Jolly Egg.  He loves all the people.  With the right training and time invested, this young man is capable of great things!   Charlie is not a huge fan of other dogs, and thinks cats are beings put on this earth purely for his own personal enjoyment, with not much enjoyment in it for the cats.   Charlie is not suitable for a 1st time pet parent, and someone with experience in GSD or similar is preferred and encouraged.  July 27, 2025, 4:04 pm
