Story
This petite little guy wants you to pick him. He is goofy and has a great personality. He is good with other dogs and needs a home with someone who will play with him every day and throw his toys for him. He is VERY treat motivated and will do just about anything for a biscuit. A little consistency and this boy could be trained to do just about anything. He loves being near people and wants all the butt scratches. He can be a little rambunctious when he hasn't gotten his energy out, but he is easily corrected and listens so well. We all just adore this goofy boy and know that you will too when you meet him. If interested in giving him his furever home fill out our adoption application on our website at Effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org

Story
Lettie is an 80-lb female pit bull terrier mix who we think is around 5 years old. She came to us with extreme skin and internal infections that we've spent last 5 months in vet clinics testing, diagnosing and treating. With the right combination of medications, she's now healthy and her skin flare ups are under control. Lettie is an amazing dog - loyal, playful and great at hanging out. She loves car rides and running errands. Lettie is a constant companion. We will require that her furever home have experience with her breed and allergies, and the financial means to be able to continue her daily medication and continued medical care. If you're that family and would like to add Lettie to your family, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.effinghamanimalrescue.com. Lettie is microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, receiving monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and on daily allergy medication.

Camden

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 11 mos
EFFINGHAM, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Camden is a Staffordshire Terrier mix approx. 2 years old. He LOVES toys! Stuffed toys are his favorite, but a squeaky ball and a tug rope are a very close second! He loves his durable super chewer chew toys as well. He will beg you to play with his toys with him and just loves butt scratches. He likes other female dogs, but a meet and greet is required just to make sure he gets along with any potential sisters. He came in with his friend, Gemma, as a bonded pair. We would love to see them stay together, but we also understand that isn't always possible. The most important thing is that they each get out of the shelter and into loving homes. He would most likely chase cats so a home without them is preferred. He does tend throw his weight around and can get rambunctious with his toys, so a home with older children is preferred. Camden is so handsome and so sweet. Do you have a couch he can cuddle up on? If so, apply for him on our website at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Maverick is a BIG boy! We do not know what he is mixed with other than some sort of bully breed, but we think maybe some Rhodesian Ridgeback as a possibility. His long legs make him the perfect height to where you don't even need to bend down to pet him. He is basically just a bid ol' baby. He loves people and lived in a home with children and cats and did excellent with them! He does however, need to be the only dog in the home. Don't let that discourage you though, he is a wonderful and obedient 4 year old boy that knows basic commands and house manners. He is a gorgeous cinnamon ginger color with amber eyes that just melt you when he begs you to pet him.If interested in adding him to your family, please fill out our adoption application on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org
