Story
Imagine having to wait for something for a short while, like an Amazon package or a food delivery. It isn't that agonizing a wait. Now imagine having to wait on those things for months, even years at a time. The excitement fades, and it becomes a daunting prospect. This is the reality for long-term shelter animals like Loki at the Washington County IL Animal Control. Loki, not yet a year old, spends his puppy days in a shelter, wondering why he keeps being overlooked. As the longest-term resident, Loki is puzzled by the lack of attention. The shelter, already at max capacity, offers less-than-optimal interactions with people for Loki. The staff tirelessly works, managing the daily routine of cleaning, feeding, walking, medicating, and responding to stray or abandoned animals. Extended stays in shelters can take a toll on a pet's mental well-being, with loud noises, confusing smells, and limited activity proving mentally draining. Loki, a sweet puppy who gets along well with other dogs, is seeking a family to love. As we approach a season of full bellies, good friends, and warm hugs, consider extending that warmth to forgotten pups like Loki. Our animal control is stretched to its limit, and we don't want any of these overlooked companions spending the holidays cold and alone. To ensure Loki's well-being, his new family will play a crucial role in providing essentials like microchipping, neutering, and keeping his vaccinations up-to-date. These extra measures are not included in the adoption fee and must be covered by the adopters upon pickup. In this season of giving, let's make Loki's wait worthwhile. If you're ready to open your home and heart to a loving pup, contact us today. Let Loki's holiday wish come true — a family to share warmth, love, and joy with.

Effingham, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Hello Beautiful, Pandora! Shy, but very loving, Pandora has been a family dog, and is now ready for a new adventure. She is strong and will require some leash training, but is fully potty trained. She really enjoys a good run, so a home with a fenced yard or an owner who enjoys running is preferred. Once the running is done, she enjoys a good TV show from the lap of her best friend. Pandora had a litter of pups a few years ago, but is now spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. If you are looking for a loyal companion, please submit an adoption application via our website, www.EffinghamAnimalRescue.com

Story
Lettie is an 80-lb female pit bull terrier mix who we think is around 5-6 years old. She came to us with extreme skin and internal infections that we've spent last 7 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.

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

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
