Story
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 do I say about Gus Gus? He is an incredibly sweet, playful cuddle bug. He loves to curl up in a little ball and lay next to you on the couch, he loves his tug toys and bones, he’s a little wary of new people and places but once he warms up to you, he’s incredibly loving. I’ve had Gus since he was 8 weeks old and he is just the kind of dog you want to love on. Unfortunately, Gus and his older brother Rusty are unable to get along and the environment has become very stressful for my family and both dogs. We’ve had both dogs since they were pups and, until about 6 months ago, they were best friends. It breaks my heart to consider re-homing Gus but I am at the point where I just don’t know what to do. We’ve tried several things to see if they could get back to being buddies but have not been successful. My goal is to find Gus the home he deserves. One where he can cuddle up and be loved without anxiety or stress. I think Gus would do best in a home without other dogs.
