Story
Frisco is a sweet and energetic goofball! He is full of kisses and wants nothing more than to roll around and play! He is about a year and half old and we believe he was once potty trained in his former home. Frisco does not like cats, but we are told he does ok with other dogs. A meet a greet with potential dog siblings is required just to make sure. Given his big head, muscles, and propensity to throw his weight around all willy nilly, we suggest that if you have children in your life that they be older kids (7+) that don't mind getting knocked down every now and again until he learns some manners. A little consistency and daily play time will go a long way with this sweet boy. If intereseted in meeting Frisco please fill out our adoption application that can be found on our website at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.orgHis adoption fee is $200 and this includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, monthly flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention.

Story
My name is Luke and I came here on 8/17 after being abandoned in Shipman. Although it was sad, I think it was for the best, because I am a very smart dog and need to be in a home that can give me the exercise, time and training I desire. I really want to please! I know how to sit, walk on a leash and am very treat motivated! I'll do best in a home who will be consistent and remind me about the proper way to ask for attention. I'm a beautiful brindle boy who is a great dog. I'm not a digger or one that destroys stuff. I'm not a barky or mouthy dog. In fact, I'm pretty chill in my pen. I've never shown any bit of aggression at all. I'm just a young, energetic pup who needs calm, consistent, structured guidance. I had a sleep-over with one family and I did great with their small kids. I was fine sleeping in a crate there, and also did good with their pig, chickens, and dog (I like to play with other rough-and tumble dogs.) I LOVE to be rubbed under my chin, on my chest and around my ears. I hope for a family who will take me on walks, have a fenced yard, and let me cuddle with them. All I want is love and a chance to prove what an amazing boy. I have a heart of gold. I really do. ........... Please come meet this sweet soul soon! (We keep our posts up-to-date.)

Story
My name is Elsa and I came here on 10/3 with my sone Luigi. Since I'm a senior, any major medical needs I might have as I age is being donated by The Helping Paw Project ---as long as you use one of the vets they work with. (Shots, nails, and routine vet visits are not included.) I'm a healthy girl, but for the future, that's a great deal! I would love for us two to go home together...but if that isn't possible, I think we can learn to adjust. Now...let me tell you more. We were picked up as strays and our owners could no longer care for us. But, they did a nice job training us. I am a sweet, little pittie. I'm only halfway up to your knees. I walk well on a leash, take treats gently, and love people. I'm not fond of cats and I'm iffy with other dogs, so I'll be best as an only pet. My dream home will have a family who will cuddle me and let me snooze on a snuggly bed or blanket. I'd love a fenced yard, or folks who will take me on a leash to go potty. If you are looking for a pretty petite, affectionate girl who knows how to obey, I'm a good pick! ***NOTE: Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines; all required before adoptions are finalized. ...........
