Story
Meet Courage Courage is settling beautifully into foster life, and the best word for him right now is steady. In the evenings, he’s all about the loveseat. He’ll curl up next to his person or snuggle in with his foster siblings like he’s always belonged there. He’s not chaotic. He’s not demanding. He just wants to be close. He’s discovered the joy of stuffies — squirrel, dragon, alligator — and while another dog in the house may immediately “destroy and conquer,” Courage prefers the slow, thoughtful approach. He’ll proudly carry his toy around before gently dismantling it piece by piece. It’s very on brand. He’s playful, but he’s also content to simply follow you downstairs while you do laundry and lay nearby, keeping quiet company. That’s his superpower — presence. He just wants to be where you are. Crate time has turned into a little strategy game. He knows exactly what’s happening and has decided he prefers a bit of privacy before going in for his treat. Smart boy. The basics: *Dog-friendly *Chill in the evenings *Loves toys *Crate trained *Loyal shadow energy **On heartworm medication — treatment fully covered by ECAC until complete Courage isn’t flashy. He’s the kind of dog who builds a bond slowly and then gives you his whole heart. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to be part of your everyday life, this is your guy.

Story
We got joey when he was around 6 months old from a farm. He had been living in a barn. He is very active, playful, patient with kids, and handles other dogs. He does run the fence and bark as passerbys, but is not aggressive nor has ever bit anyone. We recently brought out second baby home and he is showing more anxious/stressed behaviors such as chewing pacifiers and pump parts, getting on the countertops/table to get food left out, getting into bathroom trash, whining every night, and breaking down or jumping the gait when he no longer wants to be or is too anxious to be locked up. We have a small area for him and our other small dogs we locked them in at night and when we are gone.

Rex

Rottweiler Mutt

Effingham, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Rex Rex is a 1–2 year old Rottweiler mix with steady eyes and a quiet intensity that says he’s built for loyalty. He watches. He thinks. He bonds deeply. And once you’re his person, you’re his person. Here’s the part that’s hard to say… Rex has had zero interest. No inquiries. No applications. Not one. And that’s heartbreaking — because this boy has so much to give the right home. Rex is in his young adult era. Strong. Smart. Still learning. He will absolutely thrive with an experienced owner who understands working breeds and knows that structure and leadership aren’t optional — they’re love in action. Because of his strength and drive, Rex will need: • An experienced owner • A home with no children • No cats • A required meet & greet with any other dogs He isn’t for everyone. And that’s okay. He’s looking for his person — the confident, calm handler who sees the value in loyalty that runs bone-deep. The right home is out there. It just hasn’t found him yet. If you understand the Rottweiler mix heart and are ready to stand beside a devoted, intelligent companion, Rex is waiting.

Russell

Husky Mutt

Male, 3 yrs
Effingham, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Russell… the shelter’s most confused supermodel. Russell would like to file a formal complaint with management. He has the handsome face. He put on the royal blue bandana. He perfected the “thoughtful model pose.” And yet… somehow… he’s still waiting. Russell truly cannot understand it. Because if you ask him, he’s clearly leading-man material. This striking Husky mix has those icy blue eyes that stop people mid-scroll, a gorgeous coat, and a personality that balances playful and sweet. He’s the kind of dog who looks like he belongs in an outdoor gear commercial… or curled up on your couch supervising movie night. Russell’s Highlights • Handsome Husky mix with striking blue eyes • Friendly and social • Gets along with other dogs • Cats: unsure • Keeps his kennel clean (a great sign for house training!) • Loves attention and being near his people Russell has been patiently watching other dogs head off to their new homes and quietly wondering when it will finally be his turn. He doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone to see him and decide he’s the one. And honestly… with that face? We’re still shocked no one has scooped him up yet.

Story
We adopted Maise when she was a puppy at the end of 2018. She is a very good dog but can be anxious and has some PTSD. When she was around a year old we tried to adopt one of her siblings which was a male dog. One day in the back yard out of no where he attacked Maise. Since then she has become anxious and has nipped a couple people (all male). We personally have had no issues with her. She has been a very good dog for us. She is very loving and loves attention. I took her through obedience training and she will follow commands. She has always been good with our grandchildren. We hate to give her up but our moving out of state and are not allowed to have animals where we are going. She loves walks and loves to play in the backyard. She has had another dog, Keeva, with her for 6 years. They are great friends. She is crate trained and is used to sleeping in her home at night and even likes to go in it during the day at times. She is located in Edwardsville, Illinois.
