My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 guessed to be some sort of lab mix with a curly tail. His a little unsure of being back in the shelter and very sad. However, he seems very happy to see us when we greet him in the morning! He is used to living indoors and was likely potty trained before being returned. He does need to learn some manners and leash training, but since he is so treat motivated, it shouldn't take long to catch on with a patient and consistent owner. He is still very young for his size, 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.org
