My story
Share
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Helios is roughly 1.5 years old and has lived most of his life in a crate. He had to spend many hours couped up when he should have been playing and being a puppy. He needs a family to love him and give him the proper training and exercise. He is a sweet boy but will need continuing education. He needs the time to learn and realize that he will never be locked up like that again. Please come out and spend some time with this handsome boy, he will melt your heart.
His adoption fee is $0 because he is fully sponsored thanks to a kind donor! He comes neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm tested negative, on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, and a microchip that we register for you.
Apply for him on our website at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org
