Story
These boys come as a duo ♡ Milo is an Aussie, Husky, Lab, Golden mix Sampson aka Sammy is a Pyrenees Bloodhound mix. My boys are very well behaved. They are loving and extremely gentle with our 10 month old. They’ve just come to be too big to have around her and she is allergic to them :( Milo is extremely submissive to sammy. Milo was born October, 2020 and Sampson was born February 2024. They are both so cuddly and sweet. They love to sleep in their kennel together, they won’t eat unless it’s out of the same bowl. I cannot in my heart separate them. They are very well crate trained as long as they’re together. They love running around outside and can be off leash. They will roam but are never gone more than 10 minutes before coming back in on their own. They have been around our baby and other kids and do very well. They will bark at strangers but always chill out when they’re greeted.

Story
Stretch is approximately 6/7 months old. She gets along with other dogs nicely. She is ok with cats but she needs extra love and attention. She is very timid and shy. She has an old healed injury from when she was a pup. She had her pelvis broken somehow and it healed incorrectly. So now she uses her leg for support but it doesn’t work. October 19, 2026, 5:18 pm

Effingham, IL
Size

Details
Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Floyd has been in our program for over 2 years now waiting for a forever family. He is such a great dog! But would do best with no other pets in the home as he prefers to be an only child. Floyd has learned how to be loved and has come such a long way. He's a Lab and Mastiff mix who is 6.5 years old now. There's still a road ahead of dedication and training that he'll need. Floyd is treat motivated, so he's responsive to training. He LOVES to play and run, and is a super toy chewer dog! Floyd is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and currently receiving monthly prevention for flea/tick and heartworm. If you're the right family who is able to care for Floyd, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.effinghamanimalrescue.com.

Story
We took Echo in 3 weeks ago. We were originally told that she was friendly&great with children. After bringing her into our home &seeing some concerning behaviors, we reached back out to her previous owner, who later disclosed that Echo had previously shown some aggression toward her children.Echo is a beautiful Lab girl (possible mix) & she truly has a lot of wonderful qualities. She gets along extremely well with our dog and has been very gentle&respectful with the cats in our home. She can be sweet, affectionate, playful, cuddle bug& is otherwise a great dog. up to date on her shots and spayedWe have also seen growling toward members of the family, fear/reactivity toward strangers, and unpredictable behavior that makes us uncomfortable having her around children. Because of this we feel that she needs a home without kids&to someone who has time and experience to work with her. I think she could easily turn into the best pet. We have an infant& 8 year old so we can’t risk it.

Story
Precious was named so because she truly is. She's a patient, loyal, and friendly dog. She gets along with other animals and knows how to sit and shake. I love her so much, but Im unable to keep her due to moving after my divorce. She can be a runner, so you'd have to keep her on a leash. Strangely, she doesn't like to poop unless she's off the leash though, so if you have a fenced-in area, that would be great for her. She's older, and she's been having accidents (a bit of urine leakage). Looking for a good, loving home because she deserves it. She's such a good girl.
