Story
Meet our newest arrival, Lilith! ❤️🐾Lilith is a 6–7 year old Red Heeler who has spent her whole life being someone’s beloved companion. Unfortunately, her owner’s living situation changed, and now this sweet girl is looking for a new best friend to share the next chapter with.And whoever gets her is getting a GOOD one.Lilith is house trained, knows her basic commands, and is laidback, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing. But don’t let that calm demeanor fool you when a toy comes out. This girl LOVES fetch and goes absolutely bananas for squeaky toys. 😂In her previous home, Lilith enjoyed outdoor fun, rides in the side-by-side, and then coming inside to enjoy the cushy life with her person. Basically, she appreciates a little adventure followed by the comforts of home. ❤️We’re told Lilith does well with other dogs. Cats are unknown right now, but we’ll give her some time to settle in before testing her with them.At 6–7 years old, Lilith is in that wonderful sweet spot: past the puppy nonsense, but still plenty ready for walks, fetch, adventures, and years of companionship.She didn’t expect to be starting over at this age. We’d love to make sure she doesn’t have to wait long. 🥹Learn more or apply at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.orgHer Adoption fee is $200 and she is spayed, current on vaccines, heartworm tested, on flea and tick and heartworm prevention, and microchipped.

This handsome fella is Nick. He's a 2yr old Shepherd-Heeler mix who was an unclaimed stray that we pulled from a shelter to save his life. Nick is full of energy and playfulness. He's in school to learn good manners and commands, and is doing so well! Nick would be a great addition to an active family. He's a big personality with so much love to give! Could this be the dog for you?!Nick is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and currently receiving prevention for flea, tick and heartworm.

Story
If life had a volume knob, Radar would probably leave it turned all the way up...he just happens to experience the world a little differently.Radar is an almost 2-year-old Pit Bull/Heeler mix (our best guess), and his personality leans heavily toward the cattle dog side. He's smart, playful, energetic, and absolutely loves interacting with his people. Like many heelers, he uses his mouth to communicate when he's excited. It's not aggression. It's simply part of how he engages with the world, and with guidance and appropriate outlets, that instinct can be redirected into positive behaviors.Radar was born deaf, and because his previous family wasn't equipped to train a deaf dog, he's starting with a pretty blank slate. The one hand signal he does know is an open hand with fingers spread that means, "Settle down." The exciting part? He has so much potential. Deaf dogs are incredibly capable learners, and many thrive with hand signals, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Radar is simply looking for someone willing to teach him in a language he understands.Because of his unique needs, we're hoping to find an adopter with deaf dog experience or someone who has taken the time to learn about training and communicating with deaf dogs before bringing him home. We would also love to connect with rescues that specialize in cattle dogs or deaf dogs if they feel Radar would be a great fit for one of their programs.As for his personality? He's a happy-go-lucky guy who walked into the shelter ready to make friends. Radar is dog friendly and even had a canine best friend at the animal control facility we pulled him from. He also met the resident office cat and barely gave him a second thought. He enjoys people, loves attention, and has an infectious enthusiasm for life.Radar also enjoys kids, but because he can't hear and can get excited, we'd recommend a home with older children who can understand how to interact respectfully with a deaf dog.Radar doesn't need someone to feel sorry for him. He doesn't know he's any different. He just needs someone willing to meet him where he is, invest in him, and discover just how incredible deaf dogs can be. We have no doubt that, with the right person, Radar is going to make an amazing companion.To apply for Radar visit our website at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org He comes fully vetted and his adoption fee is $200If you are a rescue organization that can help deaf dogs, please send us an email at 4paws@effinghamcountyhumanesociety.org

Story
DwightMale | 3 years old | Doberman/Heeler mix | Adoption fee fully sponsoredIf there were an award for “dog who has worked the hardest while waiting the longest,” Dwight would have a trophy case by now.Dwight originally came to us as a puppy, was adopted, and sadly returned about a year later. Since then, he has spent more than 800 days waiting for another chance. But those days haven’t been wasted. We know Dwight now in a way we never could have when he was that young puppy, and he has grown into one incredibly smart, loyal and loving dog.A DNA test on one of Dwight’s siblings revealed that they are 64% Doberman, and that Doberman brain definitely showed up in Dwight. He LOVES to learn. He is extremely treat motivated, picks up new skills quickly, and recently attended his very first group training class. He continues to impress us with what he can do when someone gives him direction and something to work that big brain of his.Dwight is house trained, accustomed to living indoors, and currently spends his time in a foster home rather than at the shelter. He is dog friendly and loves having canine friends. Cats, however, are a definite no for Dwight.With his people, Dwight is affectionate, silly and an absolute snuggler. Once you are part of his circle, he loves you BIG. He also has natural guarding instincts and can be protective of his people and home. He will bark at unfamiliar people, so he needs an adopter who understands that part of him and is willing to continue giving him the structure, training and guidance that have helped him make so much progress.He isn’t the dog for every home.But we don’t need every home.After more than 800 days, we just need his home.Dwight needs someone who sees the intelligence behind those big brown eyes, appreciates his loyalty instead of expecting him to be everybody’s best friend, keeps him active and engaged, and understands that the relationship you build with a dog like Dwight is earned.And once you earn it? You get one heck of a dog.Dwight’s adoption fee is $0 because he is fully sponsored. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative, receives monthly flea, tick and heartworm prevention, and is microchipped with registration completed by ECHS.Apply to adopt Dwight at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org
