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.

Story
Dwight was originally adopted as a puppy and sadly returned to the shelter after a year. He is looking for a new furever family that won't give up on him. He is a large dog and a DNA test done by one of his siblings has revealed that he is 64% Doberman! He is used to living indoors and is house trained. He is very treat motivated and picks up on new tricks very quickly! This boy loves to learn! He is very smart and needs a somewhat active family willing to play and exercise him every day. He is such a cool dog. If interested in adding him to your family, please fill out our application on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.orgHis adoption fee is $0 because he is fully sponsored thanks to some kind donors! That means all you need to save him is an approved application! He comes neutered, current on vaccines, heart worm tested negative, on monthly flea, tick, and heart worm prevention, and a microchip that we register for you.
